Yep. Ships from Fitzgerald’s era and older still sail. The oldest ship on the lakes is the Lee A. Tregurtha, formerly the USS Chiwawa and built in 1942. It still carries its WWII service ribbons. As well, two straight-decked ships (same design as Fitz) still exist: the SS Alpena from 1943, and the Edward L. Ryerson, built in 1960 and a very similar ship to Fitzgerald to the point they carried the same configuration of horns, meaning they sounded identical. It’s also very famous in the area, various good recordings of them blowing the horn exist.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed When the gales of November came early The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most With a crew and good captain well seasoned Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms When they left fully loaded for Cleveland And later that night when the ship's bell rang Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'? The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound And a wave broke over the railing And every man knew, as the captain did too T'was the witch of November come stealin' The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait When the gales of November came slashin' When afternoon came it was freezin' rain In the face of a hurricane west wind When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin' "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya" At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said "Fellas, it's been good to know ya" The captain wired in he had water comin' in And the good ship and crew was in peril And later that night when his lights went outta sight Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Does any one know where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her They might have split up or they might have capsized They may have broke deep and took water And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings In the rooms of her ice-water mansion Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams The islands and bays are for sportsmen And farther below Lake Ontario Takes in what Lake Erie can send her And the iron boats go as the mariners all know With the gales of November remembered In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed In the maritime sailors' cathedral The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee Superior, they said, never gives up her dead When the gales of November come early

The most plausible theory i've gone with takes into account Captain Cooper's interview along with radio transmissions. I believe the Edmund Fitzgerald likely hit at Six Fathom Shoal and began taking on water from there. As the Fitz slowly took on water and started to list, the ship would have began to sit lower and lower in the water. Captain Cooper talks about how the Anderson was hit stern to bow by 2 massive waves (known as the Three Sisters on the Great Lakes) and these big waves were headed in the direction of the Fitzgerald. Now, take into account the Edmund Fitzgerald sitting lower in the water and being hit by a Three Sisters phenomena, it would make sense that the Edmund Fitzgerald was driven nose first into the lakebed. The sailors on the Edmund Fitzgerald likely never had a second to comprehend what was happening.
@paulthomas1089
3 жыл бұрын
I agree, although I'm not sure about them hitting Six Fathom Shoal, it is a possibility, I do believe the evidence shows that they were taking on water and thus sitting lower in the water. There could have been other reasons for them taking on water like loose hatch covers. I do believe it's a fact that the bow nose dived, driven with force, into the lake bed, causing the ship to break in half. It happened so fast the poor souls on board had no time to react, I pray they are all with the Lord.

She may have "bottomed out" also. For those that want to understand what this means it's when a longer vessel's bow and stern are each atop of a large wave but amidships is out of the water not being supported by anything. The vessel breaks into two pieces under its own weight. Only takes a moment for the amidships to get into a situation like this. It forms a bridge from wave to wave but isn't designed to be a bridge.

Nice video remembering probably one of the Great Lakes most famous ship sinkings. This is for all those who go on and on about what a tragedy it was, etc., etc. The Fitzgerald was the only ship to sink in that storm, I repeat, the ONLY ship. Captain McSorley was well aware of the ship's structural weaknesses, and should have been willing to steer the ship out of the storm as soon as he became aware of the storm's approach. This action on his part may very well have saved the ship, its crew and cargo. So what if they would have been behind in time in reaching their destination! The Fitzgerald was due for retirement, this being her last scheduled voyage. Lastly, anyone working on a boat knows full well the risk of a ship sinking and of possible drowning. Yes, its sad that no bodies were ever recovered, but also, not surprising, given the storm in which the sinking happened.

@@brightondale72 Much of what I said in my comment was based on what I read in a book about the Fitzgerald's sinking. I'm sorry, but I don't remember the name of the book. I used to live in Superior, WI and the Public Library there had a copy of the book. In the book, it was stated that the trip was to be both McSorley's and the Fitzgerald's last. McSorley was going to retire and the Fitzgerald was going to be dry docked because of problems that were found in its rivets, which were holding the ship together. The Fitzgerald, on this voyage, was also overloaded with its cargo of taconite pellets, which were putting additional stress on the rivets. Plus, there's an unwritten rule among Captains of Ships, that says that it's better to try riding a storm out, rather than try getting your ship into calmer waters. To do the latter, a Captain would face the ridicule and calls of "Cowardice" by his fellow Captains. This was stated in the book. As I said, the Fitzgerald was the only ship to sink in that storm. That's a fact. At the very least, McSorley should have ordered his crew into their Life Jackets. When talking years ago with a friend about this, I told the friend that had McSorley survived the sinking, he should have been Court-Martialed for putting his crew in unnecessary danger. That's my opinion on that. I know hindsight is always 20/20, but I think it would have been better if the Fitzgerald had headed back toward St. Louis Bay in Duluth, where it had come from, at the first sign of the storm. What would have been the loss in doing that? Gordon Lightfoot would have one less song to his credit.

Wouldn't at all doubt it. They are probably still there, perfectly preserved, I should say. The extreme cold temperatures of the lake itself and yet being over 500 ft down on the lake lake floor would make it quite logical that they are still there and in perfect condition. Now, if those bodies were ever located, identified and brought up to the surface, the oxygen itself would totaly disintegrate them. This is why it's best to let them alone and let them rest in peace, don't mess around down there.

Though, there are other wrecks on the Lakes that are also interesting like the Sinking of the SS. Carl D. Bradley on November 12th, 1955 with a lost of 33 men, only two survived. Or like the Daniel J. Morrell that sank on November 29th, 1966 in Lake Huron. 28 men died, only one survived.

@@purplediamond4319 if they are inside of the ship away from the elements and aquatic wildlife, the conditions are perfect for corpse preservation down there (as is the case of Ol' Whitey) so, it's definitely possible. It's a shame they can't bring them up for burial if they are in there

@@keighlancoe5933 It's technically considered a grave more than a shipwreck in that sense. Similarly to Titanic, Isis, Estonia ect, since the bodies were not all or non at all retrieved from the wreck, meaning that they all went down with it, and are mostly never retrieved. This leads to little to no exploration of the shipwrecks as a way to not disturb the dead. Like a cemetery.

Another fact about it, the ship had a list to port, and was sailing blind.

I actually copied the design of the Fitzgerald in Warship Craft. I adjusted it and it went 197.3 KNOTS. I removed the front part too.Now the Fitzgerald was reconstructed into a SUPERSHIP Named SS El Dorado.

People from the Great Lakes region know the story, especially being from Michigan, being on the lakes in November isn’t a good idea , especially being in white out conditions,no radar and over loaded , none of the lakes are forgiving especially Lake Superior! R. I. P Fitzgerald your never forgotten !

I was waiting for this... The song’s a little cliché now but I still love it and the Fitzgerald’s story, it got me interested in the Great Lakes as a whole and fed my love of ships and shipwrecks. Thank you, BSL, for reviving the Mighty Fitz, Queen of the Lakes and forever immortalized. “We are holding our own.”
