People are still letting this slide? The worst marine disaster in history, they sent them out to die and they knew it. Blood it the waters, blood in their books. No one ever was held accountable despite the obvious.

whoever thinks she hit a shoal is out of their mindthe 3 sisters theory is the most credible

>>2047421there's a phenomenon on lake superior that causes 3 rogue waves to form in successionthat's what got her overloaded with water, break on the surface and sinkend of story
>>2047421He is referring to a type of rogue wave that are fairly common on the world's seas and oceans but are fairly rare on the Great Lakes. Rogue waves are nothing to sneeze at and are a legit threat to ships.
Are the Great Lakes generally treacherous waters? Or is Edmund Fitzgerald so well known because its so rare for ships to sink
>>2047626Great lakes is the most dangerous body of water around. You will only ever deny that if you have never seen them. That's why there are many stories about the lakes and few about the ocean.
>>2047626The Great Lakes and especially Superior are incredibly dangerous for shipping, though safely standards were upgraded after the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I was in a play called Ten November about the Fitz that was full of Great Lakes disaster lore, including this ship that sank a decade earlier. This story is even more harrowing than the Fitzgerald, which sank instantly, while the Morrell had survivors, all but one freezing to death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Daniel_J._Morrell
>>2047813Again. They knew she wasn't sea worthy but they sent her out in a storm with souls on board. They knew what they were doing. Sending men to their death in the second greatest marine disaster the world has ever seen. Never forget.
Ships are beautiful... and so useful too.
