Much nonsense about whether Lake Michigan is a lake or a sea, has been
written here over the years.

I would like to settle this debate for once and for all.

Here are some photos that depict conditions in real seas.

I think that we can agree that conditions like these cannot be found on
"Lake" Michigan!

Great photos. The top one looks like a bulk freighter on Lake M. with an
approaching squall with a trailing wall cloud. Beyond that there isn't much
resemblance. Then again, would any of this ever be seen in the Adriatic,
the Med. or the Red sea? Sea doesn't mean the open ocean, necessarily. It
refers to bodies of water of various sizes.
