On November 10, 1975 the "Titanic of the Great Lakes" sank suddenly on Lake Superior. Caught up in a turbulent winter hurricane she battled the massive waves, but unfortunately lost. All 29 crewmen onboard perished. What caused such a famous ship to sink? What has happened to her since? Who where the sailors who lost their lives that day? Join us this week as we cover the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.  

Update: We are changing our format slightly. Our "Weird History" segment will now be posted every other Thursday between full episodes.
