SS Edmund Fitzgerald

Presented by John Beck

50 years ago, the infamous Great Lakes freighter, SS Edmund Fitzgerald, sank on Lake Superior and it remains the largest Great Lakes shipwreck to this day.

Revisit the life and death of this legendary ship during this presentation, which includes a 13-foot LEGO model of the ship! John Beck, who teaches history at Heritage Christian Academy in Kalamazoo, has done extensive research on the ship over the past 20+ years.

The program features history of the ship’s construction, notable moments during the Fitzgerald’s tenure on the Great Lakes, the last journey, and theories on the sinking.
