She was a beautiful ship. To bad they didn't drydock her sooner to check for problems.

[3mate1]

Creepy, to see life continue as usual on her... blissfully unaware of her fate in the coming years.

[kc9mle]

I'll bet she was a loud ship too

[koaheart]

@TheBrickanatorz She was 26,000 DWT, Knock Nevis - The Largest Ship Ever - 565.000 DWT. Puddle Jumper Vers Happy Giant. She had a 36Ton Anchor.

A friend I work with who was working in IRon River WI took his young girls and wife for a drive November 9 to Duluth because the weather was so nice. He watched as it departed and saw a man he described about 50 in white coverhauls waiving at him and his girls and even yelled what a nice day it was. As the ship passed the name Edmund Fitzgerald was noted on the stern. To this day, Steve says it bothers him, that he was so close and that he was the last one to see any member of the Fitz

@burker1301 Wow thats almost out of a horror movie. I would never forget that.

[OldestManInCanada]

i see the hatches that killed 29 men and sank a ship

[badgerattoadhall]

@OldestManInCanada hatches nah

[ProfessorIgor]

I saw the Fitz that summer in July on a trip to the Locks with my Grandparents... it was weird as a 7yr old to look at the pics we took and realize that every man on deck in that picture died in the wreck... 35yrs ago today in fact....

[burker1301]

@ProfessorIgor

Actually there was probably not a single man in the video that died in 1975. This was seven years before she sank and the sailors moved around a lot back then.

[ProfessorIgor]

@burker1301 no, I was referring to the picture we have from the locks of her in the summer of `75.. the men in that picture.

[akiddlydivy2]

[zequelll]

[nugentis]

[zequelll]

@nugentis It sure does.

[StephenHarpersNutsak]

Cool video. Terrible, terrible techno music. What would possess you to add that?

[emrxsteelmech]

kinda gives ya the creeps huh

[Mortskcab]

I heard the legend of the Fitz ever since I was a child.... I hope someday that the cause of the sinking will be found

[shipsthatsink]

@Mortskcab it already has..

[Mortskcab]

@shipsthatsink  not a 100% though. it still hasnt been proven with out a reasonable doubt

[GreatLakesShips]

Amazing footage, thanks for posting!
