The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald:
The Ship, the Storm, and the Song
Steve Ackerman, PhD, is Interim Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education at UW-Madison. SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in a Lake Superior storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on the Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there. The exact cause of the sinking remains unknown, though many books, studies, and expeditions have examined it. Professor Ackerman presents one of the best-known disasters in the history of Great Lakes shipping, examines how it relates to weather conditions at the time, and discusses the song by Gordon Lightfoot.
