On this day in 1975, a fierce storm claimed the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior, taking down the largest ship lost on the Great Lakes along with 29 crew members. The tragedy inspired Gordon Lightfoot to write “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” which became a Number 2 hit almost a year later, immortalizing the disaster in song.
