On the night of Nov. 10, 1975, the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald were fighting their way through a winter storm on their way to delivering a load of iron ore across Lake Superior. After withstanding fierce winds and high waves for much of the day, the ship suddenly disappeared from sight – leaving nothing but battered lifeboats, twisted metal and a mystery. All 29 officers and crew were lost.

Thomas E Edwards was aboard the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.
