The Edmund Fitzgerald sank on November 10, 1975. Key details:
- Event: Sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, a U.S.-registered Great Lakes freighter.
- Location: Lake Superior, about 17 miles northwest of Whitefish Point, Michigan.
- Casualties: All 29 crew members perished.
- Context: Occurred during a severe autumn storm; the ship broke apart and settled in the lake’s depths.
If you’d like, I can provide a concise timeline of the voyage, the storm conditions, and subsequent investigations or a short note on the cultural impact (e.g., Gordon Lightfoot’s song).
