Episode 63: What Happened to the Edmund Fitzgerald?
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they called Gitchee Gumee
The lake it is said never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy
Gordon Lightfoot's lyrics memorialize the tragedy of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, but the mystery remains - what sunk the great ship?
