Gales of November: The Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Immortalized in song by Canadian balladeer Gordon Lightfoot and still argued over by Great Lakes experts, the fate of the Edmund Fitzgerald and its crew has attracted more widespread attention than other thousands of shipwrecks recorded on the Great Lakes. The 729-foot ore freighter and its entire crew mysteriously and suddenly disappeared during a violent November storm on Lake Superior in 1975. The reader is taken through a "you are there" experience, including the increasing foreboding of the crew members. A haunting and informative book for anyone fascinated by the lore of sea and ships.
