It was 40 years ago that the ore freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a fierce storm on Lake Superior. All 29 men on board were lost. None of their remains were ever found. Ceremonies will be conducted this evening at the Dossin Great Lakes museum in Detroit. A lantern vigil at the Edmund Fitzgerald’s anchor begins the ceremony, followed by a performance by Lee Murdock, Great Lakes balladeer, and an honor guard escort of the memorial wreath to the Detroit River by the honor flotilla of Great Lakes vessels. Family members of some of the lost crew men are expected to attend. More information HERE
