Item description from seller

Paperback. On Monday evening, November 10th, 1975, the famous iron ore freighter, Edmund Fitzgerald was desperately fighting her way through a raging tempest on the treacherous Great Lake Superior. Suddenly, shortly after 7:15, the 729 foot long ship nose-dived to the bottom of Superior without warning. The end was so abrupt and catastrophic, that not a single distress signal was sent. There was no Mayday; no cry for help. There were also no survivors. There were no witnesses to give testimony as to exactly what had happened. The tragic loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald and her 29 man crew was one of the worst maritime disasters in United States' maritime history. Nearly one half century has passed since that horrible event. There have been countless theories put forth to try and explain what caused the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Some of these were credible; others absurd. As a result, a great mystery soon surrounded the tragedy. Emotional elements unintentionally added to the mystery; further preventing the truth from being uncovered. This is not the case anymore. In the book, The Edmund Fitzgerald: From Glory To Gut Wrenching Tragedy, brilliant author Timothy J. Thompson has succeeded in piercing through this veil, and has explained in specific detail exactly what caused the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Drawing upon numerous primary and secondary sources, Mr. Thompson retells the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald in a truly dynamic way. Leaving no stone unturned, he answers the nagging questions that other authors were unable to answer, and draws proper conclusions based upon painstaking research and analysis. Once you, the reader, have finished reading this outstanding book, you will know exactly what caused the Edmund Fitzgerald to founder, and realize that is was not a great mystery as so many others have erroneously concluded, but rather, a tragedy just waiting to happen. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
