For 17years, Edmund Fitzgerald carried taconite iron ore from mines near Duluth, Minnesota, to iron works in Detroit, Michigan; Toledo, Ohio; and other Great Lakes ports. Oglebay Norton subsequently filed a petition in the U.S. District Court seeking to "limit their liability to $817,920 in connection with other suits filed by families of crew members. It puts into perspective the sheer power of . The flooding occurred gradually and probably imperceptibly throughout the final day, finally resulting in a fatal loss of buoyancy and stability. A round trip between Superior, Wisconsin, and Detroit, Michigan, usually took her five days and she averaged 47similar trips per season. The full name was SS Edmund Fitzgerald. He skippered two of the Anderson's three sister ships, the Philip J . . An additional $2.1million lawsuit was later filed. She and her sister ship, the Edward Y. Townsend, carried iron ore and other bulk cargo to and from Great Lakes ports for six decades. [124] It has sharp peaks that rise nearly to the lake surface with water depths ranging from 22 to 400 feet (6.7 to 121.9m), making it a menace to navigation. She is famous for being the last ship to be in contact with SS Edmund Fitzgerald before she sank on November 10, 1975. In between the two broken sections lay a large mass of taconite pellets and scattered wreckage lying about, including hatch covers and hull plating. 730' LOA, 711' LBP, 75' beam, 39' depth. The stern section acted as an anchor and caused Edmund Fitzgerald to come to a full stop, causing everything to go forward. [45] Until then, Edmund Fitzgerald had followed Arthur M. Anderson, which was travelling at a constant 14.6 miles per hour (12.7kn; 23.5km/h),[40] but the faster Edmund Fitzgerald pulled ahead at about 3:00a.m.[46] As the storm center passed over the ships, they experienced shifting winds, with wind speeds temporarily dropping as wind direction changed from northeast to south and then northwest. [41], SS Wilfred Sykes loaded opposite Edmund Fitzgerald at the Burlington Northern Dock#1 and departed at 4:15p.m., about two hours after Edmund Fitzgerald. 1 deck, arch cargo hold construction, hatches @ 24', oil-fired . [27] In Edmund Fitzgerald's case, they signed a 25-year contract with Oglebay Norton Corporation to operate the vessel. "[166] The USCG did not broadcast that all ships should seek safe anchorage until after 3:35p.m. on November 10, many hours after the weather was upgraded from a gale to a storm. "[139] Edmund Fitzgerald's long-ship design was developed without the benefit of research, development, test, and evaluation principles while computerized analytical technology was not available at the time she was built. The LCA represented the Great Lakes fleet owners and was able to forestall watertight subdivision regulations[156] by arguing that this would cause economic hardship for vessel operators. that Edmund Fitzgerald was a "wet ship", being that some of her halls and corridors were constantly weeping water and the ship constantly had to run . [121], Paul Hainault, a retired professor of mechanical engineering from Michigan Technological University, promoted a hypothesis that began as a student class project. It's the unsafest commercial vessel afloat. The line was thrown over the bow of the ship and the count of the knots measured the water depth. The efforts of a third freighter, the Toronto-registered SSHilda Marjanne, were foiled by the weather. Fitzgerald's own grandfather and all great uncles had themselves been lake captains,[22] and his father owned the Milwaukee Drydock Company, which built and repaired ships. 1 hatch were fractured and buckled inward. [134], NTSB investigators noted that Edmund Fitzgerald's prior groundings could have caused undetected damage that led to major structural failure during the storm, since Great Lakes vessels were normally drydocked for inspection only once every five years. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there.She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975, by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic . [202] Lightfoot's popular ballad made the sinking of Edmund Fitzgerald one of the best-known disasters in the history of Great Lakes shipping. [39] Around 5p.m., Edmund Fitzgerald joined a second freighter under the command of Captain Jesse B. Without warning or a distress signal, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank some 17 miles from Whitefish Bay near Sault Ste. [51], For a time, Arthur M. Anderson directed Edmund Fitzgerald toward the relative safety of Whitefish Bay; then, at 4:39p.m., McSorley contacted the USCG station in Grand Marais, Michigan, to inquire whether the Whitefish Point light and navigation beacon were operational. [194], An uproar occurred in 1995 when a maintenance worker in St. Ignace, Michigan, refurbished the bell by stripping the protective coating applied by Michigan State University experts. The USCG sent a buoy tender, Woodrush, from Duluth, Minnesota, but it took two and a half hours to launch and a day to travel to the search area. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on the Great Lakes. The S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald was the largest ship on the Great Lakes. Of the thousands of shipwrecks that fill the Great Lakes, most people can name only one: the Edmund Fitzgerald. [65], Although the search recovered debris, including lifeboats and rafts, none of the crew were found. [35], Captain Cooper of Arthur M. Anderson reported that his ship was "hit by two 30 to 35 foot seas about 6:30p.m., one burying the aft cabins and damaging a lifeboat by pushing it right down onto the saddle. [140] Ramsay noted that Edmund Fitzgerald's hull was built with an all-welded (instead of riveted) modular fabrication method,[141] which was used for the first time in the GLEW shipyard. The bow section would have had to right itself and the stern portion would have had to capsize before coming to rest on the bottom. Captained by Ernest M. McSorley, Fitzgerald left the Burlington Northern Railroad Dock 1 in Superior Wisconsin. When one looks at a photograph of the ship, it is hard to imagine how a ship of such size and strength could sink in the waves of a Great Lake. [106] The analysis further showed that the maximum sustained winds reached near hurricane force of about 70mph (61kn; 110km/h) with gusts to 86 miles per hour (75kn; 138km/h) at the time and location where Edmund Fitzgerald sank. Edmund Fitzgerald previously reported being in significant difficulty to Arthur M. Anderson: "I have a bad list, lost both radars. The first wave introduces an abnormally large amount of water onto the deck. The Gerald C. Metzler Great Lakes Vessel Database is a comprehensive index of Great Lakes ships from the 18th and 19th centuries. [44] After 1:50p.m., when Arthur M. Anderson logged winds of 50 knots (93km/h; 58mph), wind speeds again picked up rapidly, and it began to snow at 2:45p.m., reducing visibility; Arthur M. Anderson lost sight of Edmund Fitzgerald, which was about 16 miles (26km) ahead at the time. [19], By ore freighter standards, the interior of Edmund Fitzgerald was luxurious. He stated, "After that, trust me, when a gale came up we dropped the hook [anchor]. [90] Canadian engineer Phil Nuytten's atmospheric diving suit, known as the "Newtsuit," was used to retrieve the bell from the ship, replace it with a replica, and put a beer can in Edmund Fitzgerald's pilothouse. while a sister ship, the Arthur M. Anderson survived the wrath of the Lake Superior. The third incoming wave again adds to the two accumulated backwashes, quickly overloading the deck with too much water. Other authors have concluded that Edmund Fitzgerald most likely broke in two on the surface before sinking due to the intense waves, like the ore carriers SSCarl D. Bradley and SSDaniel J. [80] The same year, longtime sport diver Fred Shannon formed Deepquest Ltd., and organized a privately funded dive to the wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald, using Delta Oceanographic's submersible, Delta. [73] The dive was brief, and although the dive team drew no final conclusions, they speculated that Edmund Fitzgerald had broken up on the surface. The May 4, 1978, NTSB findings differed from the USCG. [173], Mark Thompson countered that "the Coast Guard laid bare [its] own complacency" by blaming the sinking of Edmund Fitzgerald on industry-wide complacency since it had inspected Edmund Fitzgerald just two weeks before she sank. A large galley and fully stocked pantry supplied meals for two dining rooms. The USCG investigation of Edmund Fitzgerald's sinking resulted in 15recommendations regarding load lines, weathertight integrity, search and rescue capability, lifesaving equipment, crew training, loading manuals, and providing information to masters of Great Lakes vessels. But hopefully closure and peace came to the families of those crew members that perished in . Shortly after 7:10p.m., Edmund Fitzgerald suddenly sank in Canadian (Ontario) waters 530 feet (88 fathoms; 160m) deep, about 17 miles (15 nautical miles; 27 kilometers) from Whitefish Bay near the twin cities of Sault Ste. No distress signal was received, and ten minutes later, Arthur M. Anderson lost the ability either to reach Edmund Fitzgerald by radio or to detect her on radar. Keel laid March 18, 1959; launched Nov 7, 1959. Her entire crew of 29 souls perished. For data concerning Canadian areas, Canadian authorities have been consulted. [171] At the time of Edmund Fitzgerald's foundering, there was no evidence that any governmental regulatory agency tried to control vessel movement in foul weather despite the historical record that hundreds of Great Lakes vessels had been wrecked in storms. Captain Paquette of Wilfred Sykes had been following and charting the low-pressure system over Oklahoma since November 8 and concluded that a major storm would track across eastern Lake Superior. [14], With a deadweight capacity of 26,000 long tons (29,120 short tons; 26,417t),[4] and a 729-foot (222m) hull, Edmund Fitzgerald was the longest ship on the Great Lakes, earning her the title Queen of the Lakes[12] until September 17, 1959, when the 730-foot (222.5m) SS Murray Bay was launched. The U.S. Navy also contracted Seaward, Inc., to conduct a second survey between November 22 and 25. SS Edmund Fitzgerald (ogs kaldet Mighty Fitz, The Fitz og The Big Fitz) var et amerikansk fragtskib, som sejlede i Great Lakes-distriktet i Nordamerika. Although Captain Peter Pulcer was in command of Edmund Fitzgerald on trips when cargo records were set, "he is best remembered for piping music day or night over the ship's intercom system" while passing through the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers. It was designed to carry taconite pellets (a type of iron ore) from mines near Duluth to iron works in Detroit . "[42], At 2:00a.m. on November 10, the NWS upgraded its warnings from gale to storm, forecasting winds of 3550 knots (6593km/h; 4058mph). Edmund Fitzgerald's bow hooked to one side or the other in heavy seas without recovering and made a groaning sound not heard on other ships. From the outset, he chose a route that took advantage of the protection offered by the lake's north shore to avoid the worst effects of the storm. As a result, ineffective hatch closure caused Edmund Fitzgerald to flood and founder.[111]. That evening, the ship radioed another vessel, Avafors . [165] The loss of Edmund Fitzgerald also exposed the USCG's lack of rescue capability on Lake Superior. [175], Under maritime law, ships fall under the jurisdiction of the admiralty courts of their flag country. [40] The weather forecast was not unusual for November and the National Weather Service (NWS) predicted that a storm would pass just south of Lake Superior by 7a.m. on November 10. [145] The NTSB investigation concluded that the NWS failed to accurately predict wave heights on November 10. [15] Edmund Fitzgerald's three central cargo holds[16] were loaded through 21 watertight cargo hatches, each 11 by 48 feet (3.4 by 14.6m) of .mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}516-inch-thick (7.9mm) steel. A freighter that had been in service for 17 years, the ship went down on the night of November 10, 1975, killing all 29 of the . The Edmund Fitzgerald is loaded with taconite pellets at Burlington Northern Railroad, Dock 1. The towed survey system and the Mini Rover ROV were designed, built and operated by Chris Nicholson of Deep Sea Systems International, Inc.[75] Participants included the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Geographic Society, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS), and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the latter providing RV Grayling as the support vessel for the ROV. The No. She was found with cracks after the Big Fitz sank and then they scrapped her in 1986, so . They also set records for the deepest scuba dive on the Great Lakes and the deepest shipwreck dive, and were the first divers to reach Edmund Fitzgerald without the aid of a submersible. Saying "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya." 9 included the notation, "Canadian Areas. The S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald (sometimes called the Mighty Fitz or Big Fitz) was a Great Lakes bulk cargo vessel that was christened into service on June 8, 1958. Edmund Fitzgerald: The Legendary Great Lakes Shipwreck . Despite the passage of time, the story of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald continues to fascinate the residents of the Great Lakes state and beyond. The Edmund Fitzgerald was launched June 8, 1958 at River Rouge, Michigan. About the Fitzgerald. Based on the NWS forecast, Arthur M. Anderson and Edmund Fitzgerald instead started their trip across Lake Superior following the regular Lake Carriers Association route, which placed them in the path of the storm. [4] For 17 years, Edmund Fitzgerald carried taconite from Minnesota's Iron Range mines near Duluth, Minnesota, to iron works in Detroit, Toledo, and other ports. This is based on the "regular" huge waves of the storm and does not necessarily involve rogue waves.[128]. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS) has conducted three underwater . [97] On the basis of the amended law, to protect wreck sites considered "watery graves", the Ontario government issued updated regulations in January 2006, including an area with a 500-meter (1,640ft) radius around Edmund Fitzgerald and other specifically designated marine archeological sites. As a result, Edmund Fitzgerald plummeted to the bottom without warning. Gordon Lightfoot's song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (1976, Moose Music, Ltd.) is a tribute to this ship wreck and the men who lost their lives.Some of the lyrics of the song are given below along with descriptions of related events. [68], Edmund Fitzgerald is among the largest and best-known vessels lost on the Great Lakes,[69] but she is not alone on the Lake Superior seabed in that area. 3 could be seen in place. [107], The "Edmund Fitzgerald" episode of the 2010 television series Dive Detectives features the wave-generating tank of the National Research Council's Institute for Naval Technology in St. John's, and the tank's simulation of the effect of a 17-meter (56ft) rogue wave upon a scale model of Edmund Fitzgerald. The USCG responders instructed him to call back on channel12 because they wanted to keep their emergency channel open and they were having difficulty with their communication systems, including antennas blown down by the storm. The Homer was of a slightly different design, being 730 long, and she lacked the guest quarters of the Fitzgerald. [91] That same year, Terrence Tysall and Mike Zee set multiple records when they used trimix gas to scuba dive to Edmund Fitzgerald. A delay of 36 minutes followed while the shipyard crew struggled to release the keel blocks. An anchor from Edmund Fitzgerald lost on an earlier trip was recovered from the Detroit River and is on display at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum in Detroit, Michigan. . A small but well-stocked kitchenette provided the drinks. [63] The initial search for survivors was carried out by Arthur M. Anderson, and a second freighter, SSWilliam Clay Ford. [144] Historian and mariner Mark Thompson believes that something broke loose from Edmund Fitzgerald's deck. The Marine Board feels that this attitude reflects itself at times in deferral of maintenance and repairs, in failure to prepare properly for heavy weather, and in the conviction that since refuges are near, safety is possible by "running for it." Around 10:30p.m., the USCG asked all commercial vessels anchored in or near Whitefish Bay to assist in the search. [193] A legal document signed by 46relatives of the deceased, officials of the Mariners' Church of Detroit and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historic Society (GLSHS) "donated the custodian and conservatorship" of the bell to the GLSHS "to be incorporated in a permanent memorial at Whitefish Point, Michigan, to honor the memory of the 29men of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. This water is unable to fully drain away before the second wave strikes, adding to the surplus. Many theorize what conditions caused the ship to go down that night. The Mini Rover ROV was equipped with miniature stereoscopic cameras and wide-angle lenses in order to produce 3-D images. Whitefish Point is the site of the Whitefish Point Light Station and Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. [72], In 1980, during a Lake Superior research dive expedition, marine explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau, the son of Jacques Cousteau, sent two divers from RVCalypso in the first manned submersible dive to Edmund Fitzgerald. Theoretically, a one-inch puncture in the cargo hold will sink it.[151]. Loaded with iron ore like so many other runs this vessel makes. The Edmund Fitzgerald had a sister ship called the Arthur B. Homer, which was the second biggest ship on the great lakes (Stonehouse 13). On November 10, 1975, SS Edmund Fitzgerald and its crew of 29 men sank in Lake Superior. Stonehouse called on ship designers and builders to design lake carriers more like ships rather than "motorized super-barges"[152] making the following comparison: Contrast this [the Edmund Fitzgerald] with the story of the SS Maumee, an oceangoing tanker that struck an iceberg near the South Pole recently. : `` I have a bad list, lost both radars anchor and caused Edmund Fitzgerald and its crew 29.
