How many shipwrecks are there in the Great Lakes area?

Does anyone know how many wrecks are in the Great Lakes, how many have been found? How far back can we go to find out, how long have records been kept?
Is there a museum for the Edmond Fitzgerald? How is the best way to find out about shipwrecks without knowing what they were called?
