Here’s What’s On Deck So Far...

In EXTRA 2025, we remember the loss 50 years ago of the EDMUND FITZGERALD.
  • Meet Patrick Devine, who thought he had found his dream job when he
    signed on to the Fitz as a relief deckhand in June 1975 
• Explore the Fitzgerald's influence in popular culture: Music, art, literature

   and – yes – souvenirs
  • Check out some thoughts about what might have been if the Fitz had not sunk

ALSO
  • Discover Great Lakes top cook Sissy Payment and find out her recipe for success 
  • Check out the Great Lakes Lore Museum, where sailors are in the spotlight
  • Read about the 'Ship That Built Cleveland,' which turns 100 this year 
  • Learn how a group of California upstarts turned the Great Lakes
    shipping industry upside down in the 1970s with their fancy ideas
  • Catch up with the latest Great Lakes/Seaway News
  • Enjoy even more images from our readers as we continue our series
    of FAN-TASTIC PHOTOS

AND MORE!
