The Edmund Fitzgerald’s Fateful Voyage Began 40 Years Ago Today
The ill-fated Edmund Fitzgerald set sail for the final time forty years ago today in the afternoon of November 9th, 1975. The ship, loaded with taconite pellets and a crew of 29, left Superior headed east for a steel mill near Detroit, but was caught in a severe storm and sank the next day in Lake Superior killing all aboard.
