Quotes by Michael Schumacher (?)

“Just being a mediocre driver has never been my ambition. That's not my style”
― Michael Schumacher

“On September 22, 1958, the Edmund Fitzgerald, skippered by Captain Bert Lambert, left Rouge River bound for Silver Bay, Minnesota, where it was scheduled to pick up a load of taconite pellets to be delivered to Toledo. Not surprisingly, that very first load set a tonnage record when the Fitz passed through the Soo Locks a few days later. The ship's life on the Great Lakes had begun.”
― Michael Schumacher, Mighty Fitz: The Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald

“A posting for a freshwater hurricane existed—two red flags with black boxes—but there was reluctance to use it. Hurricanes were considered tropical.”
― Michael Schumacher, November's Fury: The Deadly Great Lakes Hurricane of 1913
