The Edmund Fitzgerald Investigations
Ric Mixter, Documentary Filmmaker and Historian
REGISTRATION IS FULL FOR THIS EVENT, and we expect high attendance. It is highly unlikely that we will be able to seat walk-in guests. Instead, we recommend joining the livestream (click the registration link and select the virtual option).
The Edmund Fitzgerald is the largest and certainly most famous shipwreck in Great Lakes history. Lost in a monstrous storm in 1975, its entire crew of twenty-nine simply vanished into the waves and were later immortalized in a song by Gordon Lightfoot. Shipwreck historian Ric Mixter is one of only a handful of people who have visited the wreck personally, and will share the results of his decades of research, including rarely seen footage of the ship and interviews with former crew, providing new insights into what caused the disaster.
Refreshments will be provided.
