'''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]]''.
