During a Lake Superior storm, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. At 729 feet long, she was the largest ship to have sunk on the Great Lakes.
This evening, several locations held memorial ceremonies, including one at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point where surviving family members rang the ship’s bell as the crew names were read. The bell from the Edmund Fitzgerald was recovered on July 4, 1995 and a replica bell with the crew names was placed in the same location on the ship as the original bell.

Now that Halloween is over, these turkeys better watch out so they don’t end up as the main guest at the dinner table. The one turkey is trying to get some red berries to go with the supper.
