  2. if the fitz bow was forced down to the bottom there would still be about 200 feet of the hull sticking up in the air above the surface due to the area it went down in around 530 feet deep and the fitz was 728 feet long bow to stern the fitz's keel was loose and had a damaged prop shaft and a hastily repaired prop that was also never rebalanced which would be why mcsorley said in a earlier radio conversation with the anderson during that voyage that he had never seen the ship ride the way it was mcsorley said don't allow anybody on deck The order was given as the fitzgerald was being battered by one of the worst storms mcsorley had ever encountered. During a radio conversation with the swedish freighter avafors, mcsorley inadvertently left his microphone on, and the avafors' captain, cedric woodward, overheard him shout the order to his crew.

  4. the captain of both the anderson and the william clay ford talked afterwards and the captain of the ford said that he would go out also if the capt of the anderson decided to here is another quote from capt cooper to the coast guard alot of people do not put in their documentaries and write ups cooper told the coast guard during one of the times they asked the captain to go back out cooper said the following there is already one boat at the bottom there could be two if i go back out there the anderson is still operating and doing runs the william clay ford's pilot house was removed and added as part of the dossin great lakes museum in detriot when the rest of the ship was scrapped in 1987 i get sea sick very easily i was on a tour of the brig niagara in erie pa during a field trip my senior year of high school i got sea sick from the ship bobbing up and down while moored and ended up throwing up down the side of the hull cause i was not able to hold it in long enough to lean over far enough for it to go in the water i even get queasy on floating docks when they bob with the tide

  10. i will be printing and painting a few different models of the fitz in october so they will be ready for the 50th on november 10th i plan on posting one build at 2:15 to 2:30 pm on the 9th of november as that is when the fitz left the loading dock in superior wisconsin on it's downbound trip to zug island in detroit i then plan on posting another build between 7:00 to 7:15 pm november 10th and then plan on posting the final build at 2:00 am on november 11th each build video will have the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald song playing in the background one will be gordon's original one will be home free's acapella cover i posted on the first page of this thread and i will have a different cover of the song in one if i can find a way to make it happen i plan on having either all 3 or the last one have the names of all 29 men they went down with the fitz to scroll past with pictures of each man at the end but i am not a video editor so i will have to find someone who can help with that otherwise it will just be a piece of paper with each name on it which i can do
  11. i think it got that name later due to the size of the ship and the fact in went down great lakes ore frieghters are not designed for the ocean the bottoms of their hulls are more flat verses the deep v hulls on ocean going vessels called salties one example of this was a great lakes ore freighter that was sold for scrap to a scrap yard in the uk and was being towed there well due to the ships hull design it was not able to handle the open seas of the north atlantic and it ended up sinking off of nova scotia not to far from were the titantic went down and were holding our own is only part of that final message there is more that people who make the videos on youtube and else were seem to have forgot or did not know the whole final message was we're holding our own, going along like a old shoe waves during late fall early winter storms on the great lakes do not have as much fetch between them like they do in the atlantic or pacific so they come back to back with very little space between them and punch and jab at a ships hull like a boxer with a fist unlike in the open oceans which the fetch between waves are more spaced out so they just slap at ships hulls like will smith slapping chris rock across his face with a open palm

  13. as long as those liberties don't do what both titanic and pearl harbour movies both did intertwine a horrid love story sub plot or some mcguffin like a necklace they should model the film about it in the same way the pt 109 movie was done or the perfect storm movie
  14. the carl d bradley in 1958 also broke in two and the daniel j morrell in 1966 broke in two and the edmund fitzgerald in 1975 broke in two another fact all 3 held the name the queen of the lakes which is a title held by which ever ship at the time was the longest ore freighter on the lake the fitz also had 4 other nicknames over the years i was in service the big fitz the mighty fitz and the toledo express and the pride of the american side some say bad things happen in 3s and when you think about it after fitz's loss new rules and regulations were issued by both the ntsb and the coast guard and there has not been another sinking of a ore frieghter since so with now known it means the loss of the fitz in a november storm just like the previous 2 and that also split up aka broke in two again like the previous two was the third of those bad things to happen there were two crew members that survived and were rescued from the bradley and only one crew member that survived and was rescued from morrell the morrell had a crew of 29 the bradley had a crew of 35 and 23 of the 33 that died were all from the same town rodgers michigan which is were the ship was registered. also on of the two bradley crew that survived later was the only survivor of the crew of the morrell
  15. the mystery of exactly what happed that night to the fitz is like a siren it draws you in and another thing that makes it such a good mystery is the more answers you get the more questions are raised
