From 1875 to 1975, 6000 ships were lost on the Great Lakes.
Since November 10, 1975, zero ships have been lost.
Much of this is owed to technological advances, not just in shipbuilding and navigation, but also, crucially, in weather forecasting.

Depending on the scope of course, there are some intriguing deindustrialised European border regions - the Neisse valley, Belval and Esch-sur-Alzette, Lorraine/ Saar… I wrote more than ended up in the final version of Borderlines. Happy researching!
