As certified Midwesterners living in the Great Lakes region, we couldn't let the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald pass without dedicating an episode to her (we're pretty sure they'd kick us out if we did). Because despite being one of the most famous shipwrecks of all time, the exact reason for the loss of the Mighty Fitz to the icy depths of Lake Superior remains a tragic, but fascinating, mystery. Was the great ship cursed from the get-go due to her tainted, bad-luck launch? Did she break apart at the surface or slam into the bottom? Why did Captain McSorley never send out a distress call? In this episode, we discuss all of this and more.
