[00:00:00]We are holding our own. Those were the last five words ever spoken from the largest ship on the Great Lakes.

[00:00:07]November 10th, 1975, Lake Superior.

[00:00:12]The SS Edmund Fitzgerald, 729 ft of steel, is fighting a storm that has turned the lake into something else.

[00:00:21]80 mph winds, 35-ft waves. Captain Ernest McSorley has 44 years on these waters. He has lost both radars. He has a list. Both pumps are running. At 7:10 p.m., the trailing ship Arthur Anderson asks how he's making out. McSorley answers, "We are holding our own."

[00:00:43]10 minutes later, the Fitzgerald is simply gone from radar. No mayday, no distress call, no lifeboat launched. 29 men, 530 ft down in a lake so cold the dead never rise. She broke in two.

[00:01:00]9 months later, a song made her unforgettable. No major commercial vessel has been lost on the Great Lakes since. The ocean still hides thousands of forgotten stories. Follow to uncover them.
