'''SS ''Edmund Fitzgerald''''' was a freighter which served on the Great Lakes for 17 years until sunk in a savage gale on [[Lake Superior]] on the night of November 10, 1975 while trying for safe harbor at Whitefish Bay, [[Michigan]], killing all 29 members of her crew.  The ship and her tragic death would be immortalized the following year when Canadian songwriter Gordon Lightfoot released his hit ballad ''The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald''.
