Hi, Great Lakes sailor here. Unfortunately still even in 2026 ship owners are still cutting corners in safety to save money. Best way to describe it is, they are trying to land a plane as it runs out of fuel😅

Edmund fitzgerald falls inline with my theory of “most accidents are societal failures and could have been prevented”

If I had a nickel for every fitzgerald ship with a similar name sank I'd have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice 🤔 (The Edmund and Edmond Fitzgerald)

It blows my mind there are lakes where those sort of ships go. I mean I get it, I have been to Chicago and I conceptually get how big the lakes are. But still, the rest of the world doesn’t have this.

As Mr Lightfoot said “with a load of iron ore 26,000 tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty”

☆ Toni - est. 1917 ☆ :
What people don’t realise is that outside of the Northern Midwest…this wasn’t as known. It wasn’t until Gordon Lightfoot came along and brought world wide attention to the tragedy. After that…major changes were implemented. For mariners across the country, today is a day of remembrance. We remember the 29, the ship, and Gordon himself.

the better weather forecasting is kinda out the window now that we've defunded NOAAs data collection that's kinda absolutely necessary for accurate predictions

The bands bass player who was the leader of the band said himself that the song itself brought so much awareness that no wreck happened again

Sitting so low relied heavily on the deck hatches being waterproof.... which is a huge mistake as it turns out

The cargo alone- not everything, just cargo- was equal to 731 semi trucks at max weight. Parked bumper to bumper they would be 10 miles long. Thats the weight she carried across her 729 feet. 20 years of use and repairs. But the regulations were relaxed for profits.

It was owned by an insurance company 🫠The trial of the Edmund Fitzgerald is such a good book.

Immersion suits are a nightmare when you’re learning to put them on in safety drills. But I would definitely want one if I had to go into the water!

HIGHLY recommend the book “The Gales of November” by John U. Bacon!! It’s very well written and discusses the individual lives lost, existing safety culture, and well-communicated technical information
