The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society will hold its annual Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Ceremony on Sunday, November 10, at 7:00 pm in the Shipwreck Museum building at Whitefish Point. Doors will open to the public at 6:15 pm and admission is free.
The Fitzgerald went down in a terrible storm on Lake Superior 44 years ago – and this incident of American Maritime History continues to have a profound effect on a great number of people over time.
