AKIQPilot Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Its pretty crazy to think that in 1975 a huge freighter could be caught off guard by weather and be sunk by a big wave. Lake Michigan is a mean bitch no doubt. Ive been to Whitefish Point where the shipwreck museum is. Its a pretty interesting place. RIP to the 29 sailors who perished that stormy night.

teamgreen02 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I watched a documentary on the YouTubes a couple weeks back on the Edmund Fitzgerald. Pretty interesting show. Some speculation they didn't have the hatch covers secured correctly and it was taking on water. Didn't say anything about being overloaded. Lots of theories on why it went down but no one knows for sure. Experienced captain and crew but it still sank. Just goes to show how dangerous those waters are.

RIP sailors, you've crossed the bar and stood your last watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
