the Edmund Fitzgerald, 50 years later
a month ago
General
morning everyone, it's November 10th, 2025 today, and the reason I bring this up is because this date marks the 50th anniversary of when the most famous ship of the great lakes, the Edmund Fitzgerald went down on a cold stormy November night on the 10th of November 1975, to commemorate I decided to share a documentary that was recently made by one of my favorite youtubers, "Part Time Explorer", that tells the full and highly detailed story about the ship, from birth to wreck and goes over the all the theories of how she might have and went down as well as tells a tiny little tid bit about each of the 29 men that went down with her, so for the 50th anniversary memorial here is Part Time Explorer's video documentary on the Edmund Fitzgerald, and as an added bonus Gordon Lightfoot's The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald song and a new version of the song I recently discovered that I thought was sung very beautifully, I hope you all enjoy and remember the 29 souls lost in Superior, a lake that never gives up her dead.

And that last bit about the lake is so ominous. Gives SCP vibes.
