A legendary ship, a savage storm, and twenty-nine lost souls.

On November 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the most powerful and celebrated freighters on the Great Lakes, vanished beneath the icy waters of Lake Superior. In less than two minutes, the 729-foot Queen of the Great Lakes was gone-leaving behind no survivors, no distress signal, and endless questions that still echo across the waves today.The Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald: 29 Lives, a Legendary Ship, and the Storm of November 1975 is the definitive, human-centered retelling of America's most haunting maritime disaster. Drawing on historical records, first-hand accounts, and decades of investigation, this compelling narrative goes far beyond the headlines to reveal the courage, tragedy, and mystery surrounding that fateful night.

From the ship's proud beginnings to its shocking final moments, this book brings readers deep inside the lives of the crew, the leadership of Captain Ernest McSorley, and the unimaginable force of the Gales of November-a storm so violent it remains legendary among Great Lakes sailors. You'll witness how the crew lived, worked, and bonded aboard The Mighty Fitz, how warnings were missed, and how the Arthur M. Anderson kept vigil through blinding snow and forty-foot waves.
