by Gabrielle Rettinger on 11/12/2009 I learned in school in Mrs. Stopeks's room yesterday that a ship called the Edmond Fitzgerild sank in Lake Superior. The ship went into a storm and the waves knocked over the ship. There were no survivers.

by ratstar on 7/21/2018 the wreak cannot be salvaged. it is in canadian waters and their government will not allow salvage. they have a monitoring system that alerts when a ship stops in the area of the wreak.
