    Part 2 of 2.

    SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there. She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975 by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic anomalies, and found soon afterwards to be in two large pieces.

Phenomenal!

Loving this podcast! I really appreciate the knowledge of everyone, including having the facts correct. The added YouTube snippets are amazing too, really makes this podcast different from others. Almost takes you back to that disaster. It’s crazy. My new favorite! Thanks!

Awful

They are awful. No other words to describe this podcast

Put drunk grandpa to bed and this would be fine

Look. If I wanted to listen to a drunk bigoted grandpa I’d call him. Why do you let this old man yell from the front porch into a microphone?

Could have been good.

Can’t listen to his dumb mouth for more than a few minutes
