The SS Edmund Fitzgerald Was Just Scanned by An AI — And It Revealed Something No One Expected

Beneath the icy depths of Lake Superior lies the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, a ship that vanished without warning nearly fifty years ago. No distress call. No survivors. Just silence. Now, for the first time, advanced AI has scanned the wreck with breathtaking precision. What it revealed was not just decay or twisted steel, but details that no one expected to see. How could one of the most respected ships on the Great Lakes disappear so suddenly? The answers hidden in this scan may rewrite the story of its final hours.

Yes, and the Riverside Slide is about a snow plow driver but nothing about plumbers.

The closest would be "The Plumbing Song" but it is just about the problems of plumbing not about Plumbers.

Thanks for refreshing my memory. Either way was bad.

Agreed. If the video makers can’t write, then they won’t get their message to me. I watch maybe one video a month, usually regret even that.

In the modern world things like this aren’t supposed to happen.

They pulled up a slab of rock from one of those shoals that had paint on it.

No further investigation was done on it.

Thank for this. I grew up in Michigan in a port town on Lake Michigan. The Edmund Fitzgerald sinking was on everybody’s mind for years.

So much that the day after he died The Mariners Church in Detroit honored him by ringing it’s bell 30 times. 29 for the men lost on the Edmund Fitzgerald and one for Gordon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
True story of total serendipity… I was at the AIST steel show in Detroit May 8-11, 2023. Lightfoot died on May 1. The Old Mariners’ Church is just a couple of blocks from the Huntington Place convention center so about ¼ mile away on W Jefferson Ave. On the last day there, I was attending a hospitality reception and was chatting with someone who happened to mention that she heard that Lightfoot had died. I asked her if she knew the song about the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. She said yes. I asked if she remembered the verse about tolling the bell 29 times. She said yes… I said, “well.. if you take a 5 minute walk down Jefferson, you’ll see a church on the right side and the other day they rang the bell there 29 times and then they added one ring… the last ring was for Lightfoot.” She was blown away…

Well, we’re pretty sure it wasn’t built of cheap Chinese steel.

A great song...the history of the term “the witch of November” is particularly sad . Again, unparalleled song writing and performing.

Absolutely. The song itself is particularly revered by those of us living by the Great Lakes. We see ships like that all the time, and it just really hits home. I don't know why that song feels so powerful, but it just does.

The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead ...

I felt terrible about that and Gordon Lightfoot’s haunting song made it more so......but I stopped watching when they said she sunk in 1958.........ha that’s a far cry from 1975. RIP to those who perished......

Since there was no notification of a problem

If I recall correctly, they did radio they had issues:

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."

The SS Carl D Bradley sank in 1958. It also broke in half.

33 men died.

About 100 people die on the Great Lakes every year. They are true fresh water seas not the tiny ponds that most people call "lakes". You treat them with respect or you die.

My husband and I love this song too.
I’ve never seen the Great Lakes.
But it’s on the bucket list.
Any suggestions?

The thing I love about this song is
He wrote it because the news got the name wrong.
