how deep is edmund fitzgerald

The Edmund Fitzgerald sits about 530 feet (roughly 160 meters) underwater on the floor of Lake Superior. This depth is the commonly cited figure from several investigations and dives that occurred after the sinking in 1975, which found the wreck in two large pieces at that depth. If you’re curious about how that depth was measured or want sources detailing the dives, I can pull together a concise summary of the key expeditions and their findings.
