Description
The Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald: The Loss of the Largest Ship on the Great Lakes The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was the largest ship to ever sail the Great Lakes, and its tragic fate remains one of the most enduring maritime mysteries of all time. This book delves into the official investigations and amateur expeditions to the wreckage, exploring the evidence and theories behind the ship's catastrophic sinking. Built to withstand the harsh conditions of the Great Lakes, the Edmund Fitzgerald was also a luxurious vessel, offering its passengers a level of comfort and service that was rare for ships of its time. However, its size and commercial purpose ultimately proved to be its downfall, as it navigated the treacherous waters of Lake Superior. For those interested in the history of the Great Lakes and the ships that sailed upon them, this book provides a detailed and informative account of the Edmund Fitzgerald's story, including a bibliography for further reading.
