Description

By Frederick Stonehouse

The mystery of the Edmund Fitzgerald has haunted the public for 40 years. What really happened to the ship and her entire 29 man crew during that terrible storm on November 10, 1975? Did she break in two on the surface due to storm stress, strike an uncharted reef, rip apart because of design or maintenance faults or did something else sink her?

            Frederick Stonehouse has studied the Fitzgerald mystery since the day she dove for the bottom of Lake Superior. While there are no provable answers, his conclusions evolved as more information gradually became available. What he thought when the first edition of the book came out in 1977 is not what he thinks today.
