Great Lakes shipper

A Laker is someone or something associated with lakes.

Most commonly, it refers to a player or fan of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team—originally the Minneapolis Lakers, named for Minnesota's lakes.

A laker is also a fish found in lakes, especially lake trout, or a cargo ship operating on the Great Lakes: The laker carried iron ore from Duluth.
