Edmund Fitzgerald Documentary 1995 Excellent!

God bless the crew and families of the Fitz and all mariners. We grew up on Lake Ontario and our grandfather always told us about the night the ship went to her grave. He remembered hearing it on the news. He later said even before he learned of the sinking he had an ominous, haunting feeling the entire day that he could never explain. It still gives me chills. Beautiful documentary and tribute to the brave men. And Gordon's ballad has always been beautiful

Drunk for a ???

Rest in Peace to those 29 men aboard the Edmund Fitzgerald. Devastating loss

This is a story that needed to be told. These men must never be forgotten 🙏RIP

A real shame that the official report blamed the crew for not tightening the clamps when Captain Cooper's theory makes far more sense.

There is nothing like the power of the waves in Lake Superior.

Even after all these years, my heart breaks for the families that lost brothers, sons, fathers and husbands on this ship. I pray they're all with God in Heaven now. Very brave men.

The show after they weren't prehistoric they were present day within a few thousand years

Would anyone know how long the crew served together? It seemed like some signed on at the last minute. I think the cook was brought on to replace the ships cook who was sick, imagine his story? Rest in peace to the 29.

Dry nice!!!😮

I've never met these men or their families, but growing up in Michigan and spending a lot of time on those lakes, this story has always stirred great emotion in me. Peace be with those men and those left behind.

Those men didn't deserve that

That's an important time of life I was 5 years old when that Happens November 10th of '75

This is our ocean in the midwest lol

My wife and I hiked the UP a few years ago. At one point, I just stood there gazing at the mighty Lake Superior. I couldn’t help but think of those 29 men who perished all those years ago. May God bless their souls, and all of their family too.

where does the love of God go ?

1995?? Surely 1975.

I'd like to see more about captain cooper, he was one brave man with a sense of duty.

😢 soul stirring to say the least.

Yeah he listed

Thank you Mr. Lightfoot for the greatest story ever told encapsulated in song . R.I.P. Mr. Sundown !

In addition to the infamous " SHe is holding her own ", I have read that there is also a later transmission of McSorley yelling at his crewmen to " Stay off that deck" as they were apparently trying to abandon ship,

I grew up in Florida. I can't wrap my head around big water/weather that's not salty. I'd like to check it out, one of these days.

Not sure who cut the entirety of names and bell rings at end but I find it extremely disrespect.

If the coast guard was too scared or ill equipped to go or hesitant, who the hell do they think anyone should be delivering iron ore in this horrendous of weather...wow and then the coast guard has the nerve to ask these ships to go back out thank God the didn't lose anyone else...bless the men and women in the coast guard but that particular branch back then seemed very ignorant and very stupid and the companies that risk men for money hungry idiots sry

'Does anyone know where is the love of God goes/ When the waves turn the minutes to hours.' What a fine, fine line. Moving documentary but personally, I don't like reenactments. The facts, images, photos and interviews do the job.

The Big Lake they called Gitche Gumee

Jack Champeau….God Bless you brother…from a fellow Sturgeon Bay native.

Vale Gordy.

Maybe a silly question, but how much of the footage shown is from the actual wreck, if any? I can’t tell if it’s a recreation or the real thibg

The ship was overloaded with its cargo, The hull and hatch covers leaked. Simple. There could have been steps to stop shinking. Basically it leaked and the ship was over loaded from The time it was launched.

I remember my dad recording this documentary on a blank VHS tape.

We still have it, to this day...

RIP Gordon Lightfoot and the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald 😢

It is truly amazing how many lives this tragedy have touched and how many people have a connection to the magnificant ship, The Big Fitz!

These commercials are great!

My favorite Maritime disaster. Even over the titanic. The Fitz was a legend on the Great Lakes.

commercials for Windows 95 lol

And 30 years later, hurricane enron brought down Arthur Andersen

Wouldn't have watched this ....but the man who wrote the song, has now hopefully met the men he wrote about. As The Lord wills. :)

Gordon Lightfoot passed away yesterday. His music was part of my youth but like many, back then I did not know "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" was the narrative of a true story. I have known it was true for decades but now, having watched this documentary gives new meaning to Lightfoots words.

I am pro-vajazzle as many people know

RIP Mr Lightfoot

Who's here after hearing about Gordon Lightfoot ???

What a fascinating tale of a ship that was lost to Superior

Gordon Lightfoot's passing today brought me here.

Very Sad

What theater company will stage “Ten November” in 2025, the 50th anniversary year?

Oh the brother crying was just so heart breaking❤God Bless their families ✝️🙏
