46.855,11.145 The lake was formed in 1401 as a result of a landslide of the Ganderberg, which led to the complete occlusion of the upper Passeier Valley and the damming of the Passer stream. The body of water probably reached a length of about 2 km and a depth of 35 m. The earthen dam that bordered it is estimated to have had a volume of 3.5 million m³: it was unstable and tended to give way following heavy rains, producing disastrous floods along the valley that even reached the city of Merano. The lake's German name can be translated into English as "Lake of Sorrow" because of the major problems it caused.

"The flood of 1419 was particularly disastrous for the city of Merano, destroying the Church of the Holy Spirit, the adjoining hospital, and bridges, as well as causing the deaths of more than 400 people."

46.903,13.422 Probably erected in the late 11th century, the castle was first mentioned as castrum Hohenburc in an 1142 deed. It was then the seat of a Bavarian noble family, who as Counts of Lurn administered the Lurngau (see: Lurnfeld) region within the Duchy of Carinthia. The last count, Altmann, had become Prince-Bishop of Trent in 1124, and upon his death in 1149, the castle was bequested to the Archbishopric of Salzburg and became the seat of episcopal ministeriales. Under the mediation of Duke Ulrich III of Carinthia, in 1263 a division of the property was arranged between the Salzburg archbishops and the neighbouring Counts of Ortenburg, heirs of the extinct Counts of Lurn, who had aspired the Hoh (Closest History: Burgruine Hohenburg auf Rosenberg, ~3.57 miles; found via undefined-mile search) Verify on Wikipedia: Burgruine Hohenburg auf Rosenberg

42.285,-80.834 The gunship USS Michigan became the first iron- hulled vessel built on the Great Lakes, upon her launching in 1843, in Erie, Pennsylvania. By the mid-1840s, Canadian merchants were importing iron vessels prefabricated in the United Kingdom. The first iron-hulled merchant vessel built on the lakes, Merchant, was built in 1862, in Buffalo, New York. Despite Merchant's clear success proving the potential of iron hulls, ships built from wood remained preferable until the 1880s, due to their lower cost, as well as the abundance of high quality timber and workers trained in carpentry.

46.258,-60.702 Cape Breton Island's first residents were likely archaic maritime natives, ancestors of the Mi'kmaq people. These peoples and their progeny inhabited the island (known as Unama'ki) for several thousand years and continue to live there to this day. Their traditional lifestyle centred around hunting and fishing because of the unfavourable agricultural conditions of their maritime home. This ocean-centric lifestyle did, however, make them among the first Indigenous peoples to discover European explorers and sailors fishing in the St Lawrence Estuary.
