Here’s to you, Edmund Fitzgerald…. 🫡

Few ships in Great Lakes history are as legendary as the Edmund Fitzgerald, especially across Northern Ohio, which was home to nearly half the 29 seamen who went down with the lake freighter in a fierce storm 50 years ago today – Nov. 10, 1975.

Fifty years later, the legend of the Edmund Fitzgerald lives on

The crew of the ill-fated Edmund Fitzgerald included seven men from Northeast Ohio who went down with the ship in a wicked storm on Lake Superior.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
