#045 SS Edmund Fitzgerald
SS Edmund Fitzgerald, a 729 ft. long cargo ship, was built in 1958 and is one of the most famous of modern day Great Lakes shipwrecks. For 17 years, Edmund Fitzgerald carried taconite iron ore from mines near Duluth, Minnesota, to iron works in Detroit, Toledo, and other Great Lakes ports. On November 10, 1975, during a violent storm off Whitefish Point in Lake Superior, she broke apart and sank taking all 29 crewmen with her.
