With the recent passing of Dennis Hale (September 2, 2015) the sole survivor of this wreck, and the upcoming anniversary of it's loss, I have become somewhat nostalgic. My father Donald Worcester, Oiler from Columbia Falls, Maine was lost on this ship November 29, 1966. Thank you John (and crew) for the outstanding video of both sections of the ship. Your professionalism and final dedication to the crew is greatly appreciated by those of us that this tragedy touched. Fair winds and following seas, Mr. Hale. Give my Love to Dad.

Its incredible to think after she snapped in half the stern kept going under power for another 5 miles before she sank.

It's honestly amazing how people are able to dive down to shipwrecks and just look at them with no fear. In my opinion, looking at one just frightens me... A man-made object, just... destroyed. Abandoned. Left to rot. It takes a lot of courage to sail on the lakes, knowing that if you encounter a gale or storm, she may swallow you up and never take you back.

Unbelieveable footage. The visiblity was surprising good. I don't think I could dive this... I hate big, man made objects underwater.

I'm originally from Arena County MI. I was 12 when Edmund Fitzgerald went down. It was a big thing to me as I never really understood that while we were getting "interesting" weather about 20 miles inland from Saginaw Bay there were unholy violent storms out on the lake. I spent 20 years in the US Navy and had plenty of opportunities to sample some of those unholy violent storms in the North Atlantic but it seems the November Witches are even worse. I love the way the divers documented the Daniel J. Morrell in such a serene, peaceful, and respectful way! God bless those from the Morrell who are now forever on watch and Fair winds and following seas to those they left behind.

Excellent video! Having sailed on the Great Lakes freighters for many years and knowing Dennis Hale, I want to commend you all on the incredible job you did and the respectful nature in which you memorialized an important Historical Shipwreck site and the memory of those lost on the Morrell. Well Done!

I can't believe how clean her interior still is after almost 50 years. And dishes still in the cupboard! (How did they make it down intact?)

Awesome video I wish someday they allow divers to explore the Fitzgerald again . Rest in peace to all the crew members of this ship and the Edmund Fitzgerald.

The visible gauges, porthole signs, made it feel like going back in time and being there-wow. Video music was cool!!

WOW! Nice work on video, those inside shots were amazing, the ships telegraph still looked great as well as the gauges, machinery and workbench. all looked pretty clean considering it went down in 1966. The dishes still stacked in galley was quite an image too. Good musical background. Very nice work on this. tnx

haunting video, especially seeing the fire extinguisher mounted as if it's anticipating another passage and the dishes stacked in the galley sure bring a chilling perspective to the wreck. thanks

Because of breathing problems I could never dive so seeing what you guys are doing really means a lot thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I know the cold waters of the lake help with preservation, but it's crazy to see first hand video showing just how intact the wreck's interior remains.
