The Mystery of The Edmund Fitzgerald

Edmund Fitzgerald

The mystery of the Edmund Fitzgerald still lives on. It has been 35 years since the big ship went down in a fierce storm on Lake Superior

The sinking is the worst disaster in Great Lakes maritime history. And until now it is being mistery. But despite an investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard, the mystery of exactly why she went down in that fierce storm has never been solved. The coast guard once blamed the crew, saying they failed to fasten the hatches properly.

Members of the maritime community have said that isn't likely in light of the dangerous weather on the lake that night.
