  • If remember correctly a family member of the crew requested that a beer can b placed on the ship in memory of her father who after a watch had a beer thier it is a rememberence of her loved one the can is 'nt trah but a gift of love to one who was lost

  • It was Lt. Cmdr Gwalchmai of the Canadian Navy who suggested placing the beer can in the pilothouse of the Fitz. See his comments on the You Tube video, "Trash even on the Fizgerald site".

  • thank you for all your informative information on this wreck. i was verry impressed! why did they place a beer can in the ship? that just doesnt seem right?

  • See the You Tube video, "Trash even on the Fitzgerald site" for their explanation of the beer can.

  • If you were a family member of one of the 29 men who died you would care.

  • This is a gravesite. It should be left alone.

  • there is more controversy than is showed in your vids. I watched them all and am still trying to figure out exactly who did what. the congressmen I get but I need help trying to figure out the blame game here. fascinating footage in all of the vids posted by you. any help clarifying just who's who in this mess would be greatly appreciated. thanks again.

  • @rrclerk68 I totally agree with you.

  • my opinion, you are making a mountains from molehills. I agree that defiling a gravesite is completely wrong. But the placing of a beer aboard the Fitzgerald is as honorable placing flowers to a land grave, meant to honor her father. Taking this to the extreme, do we consider all the vessels sunk in the ocean as gravesites? If so, in your logic, it would be illegal to allow shipping to pass over such sites, and that is foolish. The lost mariners would agree; their workplace was the ocean.

  • @cochranexyz Really. Would you go into a cemetary and remove items from the graves? Just take what you want, because, you know, you'd like to have it for "historical reasons"? Good God, people. SHOW SOME RESPECT.

  • Moral of the story: Don't steal. The government hates competition.
