The Legend of the Big Fitz Lives On

When it was launched, the 729 foot Edmund Fitzgerald became the largest "laker" on the Great Lakes – the pride of the American side.

On November 10, 1975, traveling through one of the worst storms ever known on Lake Superior, the Fitz disappeared from the radar of the Arthur M. Anderson and sailed into history.



Forever in our hearts.
