Iron Ore, the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and the Periodic Table of Death and Mystery

from Periodic Table of Death and Mystery · host Carol Potenza's monthly podcast, hosted by Laura Haas

In 1975, an obscure Iron ore ship disappeared under the waters of Lake Superior, but the tale of its last voyage became immortalized in 1976 by the singer Gordon Lightfoot as The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It’s a heartfelt ballad that transports the listener into the gales of November and leaves them aching for the Fitz’s lost crew.
