Lake Erie

Lake Erie is the eleventh largest lake on Earth[1] and, of the five Great Lakes of North America, it is the fourth largest by surface area, the southernmost, shallowest, and smallest by volume. It is bounded on the north by Ontario, on the south by the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, and on the west by the state of Michigan.

During Operation Blackbeard in 1941, the Confederate Army was able drive through U.S. forces, until they reached the shores of this lake.
