The state possesses more freshwater coastline than any other state and has played a central role in exploration, commerce, shipbuilding, navigation, military operations, fisheries, maritime safety, and Great Lakes transportation. This portal serves as the primary index for maritime history articles within Michipedia. ===== Great Lakes ===== * [[Geography:waterways:lake_superior|Lake Superior]] * [[Geography:waterways:lake_michigan|Lake Michigan]] * [[Geography:waterways:lake_huron|Lake Huron]] * [[Geography:waterways:lake_erie|Lake Erie]] * [[Geography:waterways:lake_ontario|Lake Ontario]] * [[Geography:waterways:lake_st_clair|Lake St. Clair]] ===== Rivers and Waterways ===== * [[Geography:waterways:st_marys_river|St. Marys River]] * [[Geography:waterways:detroit_river|Detroit River]] * [[Geography:waterways:st_clair_river|St. Clair River]] * [[Geography:waterways:tahquamenon_river|Tahquamenon River]] * [[Geography:waterways:grand_river|Grand River]] * [[Geography:waterways:muskegon_river|Muskegon River]] * [[Geography:waterways:kalamazoo_river|Kalamazoo River]] * [[Geography:waterways:saginaw_river|Saginaw River]] ===== Maritime Infrastructure ===== * [[infrastructure:soo_locks|Soo Locks]] * [[infrastructure:poe_lock|Poe Lock]] * [[infrastructure:macarthur_lock|MacArthur Lock]] * [[infrastructure:davis_lock|Davis Lock]] * [[infrastructure:weitzel_lock|Weitzel Lock]] * [[infrastructure:sabin_lock|Sabin Lock]] * [[infrastructure:great_lakes_shipping_channels|Great Lakes Shipping Channels]] ===== Lighthouses ===== * [[locations:whitefish_point_light_station|Whitefish Point Light Station]] * [[locations:old_mackinac_point_lighthouse|Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse]] * [[locations:big_sable_point_lighthouse|Big Sable Point Lighthouse]] * [[locations:point_betsie_lighthouse|Point Betsie Lighthouse]] * [[locations:crisp_point_lighthouse|Crisp Point Lighthouse]] * [[locations:fort_gratiot_lighthouse|Fort Gratiot Lighthouse]] ===== Shipwrecks ===== * [[maritime_history:shipwrecks:edmund_fitzgerald|SS Edmund Fitzgerald]] * [[maritime_history:shipwrecks:western_reserve|Western Reserve]] * [[maritime_history:shipwrecks:daniel_j_morrell|SS Daniel J.
