	Edmund Fitzgerald
		I think that when the Edmund Fitzgerald was in the middle of a wave when the keel broke and she sank like a stone.
		As a gravesite, I believe that the Edmund Fitzgerald should be respected just like any other site where the dead reside, however; it is rare that someone doesn't die when a ship goes down and most shipwrecks of this size have been explored so I have no problems with penetrating and observing the wreck.
		If I had a chance to dive the Fitzgerald I would, but not to see if there are any souviners but to have the opportunity to dive on one of the most notable wrecks of all time and to pay my respects to the men who had lost their lives trying to make a living.

		The FITZGERALD was one of a fleet of 14 to 18 vessels operated by the Columbia Transportation Division between 1972 and 1977.
		The FITZGERALD was last dry docked in Cleveland, Ohio, in April 1974, when the accessible areas of the interior and exterior structure and hull plating were examined and all damage was satisfactorily repaired.
		At this speed, it was impossible for the FITZGERALD to pass through her 1520 position, as determined by the ANDERSON from radar observations, and reach the nearest position at which grounding could occur by 1530.

	Edmund Fitzgerald Remembered
		When the Edmund Fitzgerald, pictured here four years before it sank, plied the waters of the Great Lakes, it was one of the largest “lakers” in service.
		Canadian flag on the bow, American flag at stern, the Edmund Fitzgerald was a frequent site on the Great Lakes during its almost two decades of service before it sank with the loss of all 29 crew members.
		An explanation that has been espoused several times by mariners is that the Fitzgerald suffered a stress fracture and broke apart on the surface from the effects of heavy seas twisting and flexing the hull.

	Lessons of the Edmund Fitzgerald
		Twenty-five years after the tragedy that sparked the "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," by Gordon Lightfoot, we have some answers.
		The captains of the Fitzgerald and the Anderson, a nearby ship, decide to head for the Canadian coast, to seek shelter from the northeast wind, and the waves it will generate.
		Combine that with the premature shift of wind direction -- and leaks aboard the Fitzgerald that caused her to ride low in the water -- and you have a recipe for disaster.
