The SS Edmund Fitzgerald carried taconite iron ore…98% of the iron ore is used to make steel.

The Fitzgerald was a steel vessel.

So very interesting!  I wonder if gamers would have ever been aware of this interesting fact?.. If not for your word error?...thanx ..

I find that the game being so new that rules will have be set as we progress, therefore scaggs7 post of  “as ore is to boat”  is allowed, although a little indirect his post does show good imagination, while ‘as ore is to minerals’ would have been better and more direct.

This new rule will allow more room for indirect word associations in the game.

Roxsanna would like to offer her apologies to scaggs7
