The Edmund Fitzgerald & The Inland Seas
On Nov. 10, 1975 — 51 years ago today — the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in a storm on Lake Superior with 29 men aboard. In this documentary, former Duluthian Ian Grant sails out to the wreck site with author John U. Bacon, hears from families of the men who were lost, and meets the crews who still make their living on the Great Lakes.
The show was produced for Grant’s Emmy-award winning series Culture Quest, and will begin airing on PBS stations in January.
