Canada and USA Share a Hard Anniversary
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The story of the loss of this great ship continues to haunt those who grew up along both sides of the Great Lakes. Join Meidas Canada host Charlie Angus on a historical and musical voyage to explore the legacy of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
I made a mistake in the video explaining the role of the plimsoll line. The line which defined the lowest a ship could sit in the water kept getting raised so more ore could be taken on board which meant the ship sat lower and lower in the water.
