Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald by John U. BaconDive into the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald on the anniversary of its sinking! Explore one of the Great Lakes’ most haunting maritime mysteries and the fierce 1975 storm behind it in John U. Bacon’s The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Drawing on decades of research, interviews, and newly available evidence, Bacon revisits the tragic sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, offering fresh insight into the storm, the ship, and the crew members who were lost. Together, we'll discuss the challenges of navigating inland seas, the dangers faced by commercial mariners, and how advances in weather forecasting, ship design, and maritime safety have evolved in the decades since the disaster. We'll also consider why the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald continues to captivate readers and inspire reflection on the power of nature and the resilience of those who work on the water.
