Another cache to add to the list of ships in the now expanded Planes Trains Automobiles and Ships series.
No list of mighty ships is complete without the Edmund Fitzgerald. Mojave it's said never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early.
The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that made headlines after sinking in a Lake Superior storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29. When launched on June 8, 1958, she was the largest boat on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest boat to have sunk there. Nicknamed the "Mighty Fitz", "Fitz", or "Big Fitz", the ship suffered a series of mishaps during her launch: it took three attempts to break the champagne bottle used to christen her, and she collided with a pier when she entered the water.
Gordon Lightfoot further made her famous with a song about the sinking of the ship.
