Edmund Fitzgerald Investigations: 50 Years After the Infamous Wreck
Advertisement
The mighty Fitz is the Great Lakes largest shipwreck, resting in two major pieces on the bottom of Lake Superior just over the Canadian border. It was lost in a killer storm in 1975, and its entire crew of 29 simply vanished into the waves around seven that evening.
Shipwreck historian Ric Mixter is one of only a handful of people who have visited the wreck personally, diving 550 feet down in a tiny submarine to explore the site for over an hour. Join Ric in a look back at the building, wreck, and investigation of the Edmund Fitzgerald on the 50 year anniversary of it's disappearance.
