The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. She was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes and remains the largest to have sunk there. The tragedy was immortalized by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot in a very haunting and unforgettable tune. The aftermath led to changes in Great Lakes shipping regulations and practices that included mandatory survival suits, depth finders, positioning systems, increased freeboard, and more frequent inspection of vessels. A superb Vintage First Edition. LOC SSS-05
