Edmund Fitzgerald in Real Time

In 2025, we commemorated the final voyage of the Mighty Fitz and the 29 souls lost on board, on the 50th anniversary, and we will do so again this November

🔔 Gordon Lightfoot

After his passing in 2023, the Mariner’s Church began adding a 30th ring of the bell in honor of all Gordon did to keep alive the memory of the Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew.

[Fitzgerald]: "I have a bad list, lost both radars. And am taking heavy seas over the deck. One of the worst seas I've ever been in."

[Avafors]: "If I'm correct, you have two radars."

[Fitzgerald]: "They're both gone."
