The swells that sunk the 729' #EdmundFitzgerald, the last of the great wrecks of the #GreatLakes, cleared the pilothouse at 50' above the waterline. The same sets came up behind the #ArthurMAnderson 10-miles astern to her west in the icy waters of #LakeSuperior. All hands of the Fitzgerald went down 49 yrs ago today, the 10th, her bell only recovered in 1995. Like the Titanic and the North Atlantic, Superior is too cold to give up her dead. Perhaps not even as dramatic as the 639' #CarlDBradley snapping in half on the surface of #LakeMichigan to the south near #Milwaukee, November 18th, 1958. 33 lost, 2 survived, widowing 23 in Rogers City, MI alone. A mass funeral was held at a local church, all but nine of the caskets were empty. The 647' Anderson still steams the lakes, splash date 1957, operated by #GreatLakesShipping, Duluth, MN, a subsidiary of #USsteel. November 11th marks the date where the surface temperature of the Lakes and the air temp above have the highest disparity causing a tempestuous climate. #Sweetwater being fast and wet, swells run high and close, a ship can spend much of its voyage below water. And being the end of the shipping season before the ice, heightened last minute traffic means higher risks. The #GreatWhiteHurricane of 1913 began on November 6th. 271 mariners and 11 ships lost, 11 more aground, mostly in the first six hours. There are 7000 shipwrecks on the North American Great Lakes over 400yrs, starting with the mystery of the #Griffen only found recently in Green Bay, and representing ~30,000 lives lost at sea, among 17,000 kilometers of littoral, 35,000 islands, 28,000 cubic-kilometers of water, or 21% of the world's liquid fresh surface water. No, you may not have any. #TheFitz #TheRealThirdCoast #Freshwater #NATO #Hollywood #Rustbelt #Bloodroot #MKE #PalmsToTheBlock #WhiteTrashGreenWater #414
