Presented by Christ Gillcrist from the Museum of the Great Lakes: Come along on a brief exploration of the history of shipping on the Great Lakes that lead up to the impressive Edmund Fitzgerald.  She had an exciting life during the 18 years that she sailed, often carrying record breaking loads.  Her loss in the Superior on November 10, 1975 along with 29 crew, still puzzles many to this day.  We will explore several of the prevailing theories on the sinking of the largest ship to sink in the Great Lakes.
