Launched in 1958, The Edmund Fitzgerald was the largest, fastest, most luxurious iron ore carrier plying the Great Lakes.

Her loss is one of the greatest mysteries of maritime history … the night in 1975 that the 729-foot freighter disappeared from radar and sank during an intense storm on Lake Superior. Nobody survived.  Our underwater footage, reenactment, Gordon Lightfoot’s ballad and an award-winning score are highlights.
