The story of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is the account of a massive freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a fierce storm on November 10, 1975, resulting in the loss of all 29 crew members. Launched in 1958, the ship was known for being the largest on the Great Lakes at the time, setting records for hauling iron ore before it was overwhelmed by the storm, despite its sturdy reputation.
