47 years ago today the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior.
In this thread I'm going to discuss a few things:
- The actual story
- The Gordon Lightfoot song
- The different roles of an artist/storyteller and an educator

She was one of the very first ships to be built to the maximum St. Lawrence Seaway size of 75 feet (23 m) wide, and at the time the biggest, making her the Queen of the Lakes.
