The Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior, in Canadian waters off Whitefish Point, near the eastern end of the lake. It went down on November 10, 1975, about 17 miles from Whitefish Bay, Ontario, and roughly 15 miles west of Deadman’s Cove, after encountering a severe storm with towering waves. The wreck lies in about 530 feet (160 meters) of water and remains on the lakebed in two main sections—the bow and the stern—with extensive damage and no bodies recovered. All 29 crew members were lost.
