The story of the Edmund Fitzgerald is masterfully told by @Johnubacon in THE GALES OF NOVEMBER. Haven’t been held more rapt by a history book in years. We forget how the iron ore of the Midwest - and the great ships like the Fitzgerald that transported it - built the American century.
Starting tonight at 1 AM, we’ll be sharing the real radio transmissions from the night the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost on Lake Superior, 50 years ago.
These posts will follow the timeline as it happened, from the first reports of rough seas to the ship’s final transmission.
We share them in remembrance of the 29 men who were lost, and in respect for all who work the Great Lakes.

Can confirm Congress frowns on this.

Since 2010 my dad would stream me the Eagles via his iPad if they weren’t televised where I was. As he had the bad timing to die right before the season began, I’m now watching it on RedZone like a schnook.
