On the 10th of November, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the largest ships to ever sail the Great Lakes of North America, departed Wisconsin to sail across Lake Superior en route to Detroit, Michigan. But as she left port, she sailed directly into a vicious November storm and sank with all hands on board. The Fitz sank on the Canadian side of Lake Superior, and Gordon Lightfoot’s song is a fitting tribute to 29 brave Americans. RIP mariners.
