 | S.S. EDMUND FITZGERALD: Requiem for the Toledo Express; A Search for Truth By Raymond Ramsay M.Sc. A review by Thom Holden, Director Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center, Duluth, Minnesota This is a "must read" book for anyone more than casually interested in the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, lost November 10, 1975, on Lake Superior. Historians are always trying to get back to the beginning and talk with witnesses and participants in the making of history. In the case of the Edmund Fitzgerald's loss with all 29 persons on board, we cannot go back to that night to gather their individual accounts of the loss. However, we can go even further back in time right to the design and construction of the vessel itself at the Great Lakes Engineering Works at Ecorse, Michigan, and learn from a young, but experienced naval architect trained in England and Canada. That person is the author of this book, Raymond Ramsay. He was there working on the Fitzgerald from keel laying to launch to sea trails and beyond. Now an elder statesman among naval architects with a distinguished career, Ramsay reveals his thoughts and experiences about the vessel's design, construction, materials, shipyard practices, and more in this fascinating book.
