A written victum report from a shipwreck I was researching states "we could see land if it weren't for the snow." I was wondering if anyone knew how far a person can usually see in the Great Lakes from the deck of a large ship and how this distance is affected by weather beyond the obvious. For instance, if they faintly thought they could see shore, would this mean they were closer than they'd be in good weather. This, in my case, might help position this wreck.
