MONDAY MASHUP: Earth Sandwich

By Rachael Gleason

The Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the largest Great Lakesships in its time, met the bottom of Lake Superior more than 30 years ago. What if the famous freighter had kept sinking?

A mashup called Earth Sandwich shows the ship would have surfaced on the other side of the world – more than a 1,000 miles off the coast of the Western Australia. Click the image and you can see exactly where.

The makers of Earth Sandwich encourage users to make sandwiches out of the planet by uploading slices of bread on opposite sides of the earth.

Users can also click on any location to find its opposite.

Win a prize if you’re the first to suggest or create a Great Lakes mashup used on Echo’s Monday Mashup. What’s the prize? Well, it’s not a Great Lakes cruise.  But we’ve got stress balls shaped like polar bears and bats (stress bats?), pocket knives, mini-backpacks, flashlights, water bottles and other items of similar fine value lying around the Echo Chamber. We’ll send you something AND publicly acknowledge your contribution in MONDAY MASHUP. Send it to Monday Mashups editor Rachael Gleason at GreatLakesEcho@gmail.com.
