Lake Superior is shared by the Canadian province of Ontario to the north, the U.S. state of Minnesota to the west, and Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to the south. The Ojibwe name for the lake is gichi-gami (pronounced as gitchi-gami and kitchi-gami in other dialects), meaning "great sea." The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is located at the Whitefish Point Light Station. The southern shore of Lake Superior between Grand Marais, Michigan, and Whitefish Point is known as the "Graveyard of the Great Lakes" and more ships have been lost around the Whitefish Point area than any other part of Lake Superior. These shipwrecks are now protected by the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve. SS Edmund Fitzgerald was the latest major shipwreck on Lake Superior, sinking 15 nautical miles from Whitefish Point in a storm on November 10, 1975.
