These English and Irish didn't know history The Romans dominated Europe for 700 years We taught these barbarians to speak The Romans had 50 million under their balls

The circumstances surrounding the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald are eerily similar to the German vessel MS Munchen, which sank suddenly without a trace in the North Atlantic during a storm only 3 years later.

Itiians worked very hard

Get over it boo who

Might have given Mr. Harrington a copy of the SSHSA's sponsored book "THE ERA OF THE JOY LINE" [1982] by the late SSHSA Director Edwin L. Dunbaugh. The book might have helped Mr. Harrington with his facts.

A great introduction to this tragedy.

Oh man, the music in documentaries of this era immediately dates them... Overall a nice documentary though, thanks for posting!

The men went through more hell in 1 minute or just seconds than the most of us do i would imagine

I never noticed the corpse outside the wreckage where they said it was but I did recognize one in the pilot house while that underwater sub camera was going about the ships wreckage.

Old before her years.

I like capt Bernie coopers rationale. She bottomed out on 6 fathom shoal. McSorely repirted his deack raul was down and 2 vent caps were gone. Only hoghing eould snap a deck raul and the vent caps blew off because the air from the ballast tanks rushed up and out due to the eater coming in. Its the only logical idea. Cooper was hit by 2 monster waves that pushed the pilothouse of the Anderson under and cooper said it felt like a eternity before she popped back up because he was buoyant. He watched those 2 monsters roll away towards the Fitz and estimated it would take 10 minutes to reach her which shortly after that she disappeared from radar. Low in the water and with a list taking on water WHEN those huge waves hit her it was too much to stay afloat as she was pushed under and unable to recover. It was just a case of being out on the lake when the STORM OF THE CENTURY TOO PLACE. JUST BAD BAD LUCK.

She has Battleship propulsion- was a secret for a while.

Who are you going to call in 10 seconds?

Mancini from west Pennsylvania, wondering how we got here.

The ring the bell 30 times now..respect!!

Respect to those Captains and crews that went back out there to try and help their brothers.

42:47 This guy is a liar.

I'd have to side with Captain Bernie Cooper from the Arthur Anderson. As a lifelong Captain, who was on the lake with the Fitz that stormy November night has repeatedly said the Edmund Fitzgerald had bottomed out. I'd bet, he knows more than I, and all the talking head's all put together. The talking head's are trying to sell something, a book, and interview, a story, or a newscast. So, although I don't know jack, I'll side with whom I feel knows the most, Captain Cooper. Rip to both Captain's McSorley, Captain Cooper, and the brave, hard-working crew aboard the Edmund Fitzgerald. Rip.

It’s being moved this week from Philadelphia to the Gulf of Mexico to be scuttled as a artificial reef and to attract tourist divers

Our host sounds like its Don Ameche

Generally speaking, during the early 20th century overnight steamboat passenger tickets & stateroom accommodations were sold at the steamers' piers, on board the vessels and at agencies such as railroad stations, travel agents, etc. [The Joy Line was not privileges to have their tickets sold at New Haven RR stations]. Also, passenger tickets & stateroom accommodations were sold to passengers after the boats left the dock. There was much more to process of ticket sales & ticket collections at the time. This was a long time before the use of computers, so the exact number of tickets sold would not be known at time of sailing & definitely not the names of those who purchased passage on the steamers. Like railroad tickets, that were purchased at that time, a certain number of tickets were "assigned" to each sales location. At the time of the sinking of the LARCHMONT, the New Haven Railroad had its own inter-station telephone & telegraph system to have some control over sales & distribution of railroad tickets. At the time, the Joy Line had nothing even close to the NH Railroad ticket operation, was poorly run with minimal concern for passenger safety, not even having wireless-telegraph equipment on board their vessels. Prior to the sinking of the LARCHMONT, the Joy Line was basically a "fast buck" operation. The LARCHMONT had about 100 staterooms plus free berths for passengers, being mid-winter, doubt she was carrying more than 300 passengers on a Monday night. The sinking of the Str. LARCHMONT was a tragedy, nothing funny about it.👎

Sad this is gone like forever 😢

So when the Boeing 707 came to be, Pan Am airlines tried its best to mimic the accommodations of luxury ships such as this; Passengers were accustomed to being treated and pampered as it was the overall experience that mattered as much as the end destination.

Wonder how many quoits or horseshoes went overboard ? !

That’s so foreign to many of us who grew up from the mid 1960’s onward…a ticker tape parade for the Captain (Commodore) of a civil ship.

God bless my four grandparents. Growing up they were very patriotic to the United States as well as my parents. My father who is a world war two hero.

The ferocity of the lakes is unchallenged

And now this beautiful ship is going to be rotting away at the bottom of the ocean.

The average age passenger appears to be 75, going on 90

Nice!!!

Bellissima nave

This man is lying or with holding information if you can't see it then shame on you

History repeats itself. Immigration limitations, hate and mistreatment immigrants. The melting pot may be done but the salad bowl looks great.

And which great Atlantic Liner will continue to attract the public while this wreak spends its time as a home for fish?

My Grandfather served as Gunner's mate 2nd class aboard the USS Birmingham. He didn't tell very many stories about his time aboard, but the several times he referred to that vessel he called her the Bloody Birmingham,. The greatest generation ever to serve this country. 🦅🇺🇲🎖️

I will never understand why the family of the crew do not want the wreck dived. Yes it won't bring them back but if it could reveal why the ship sank it should be allowed. If indeed it sank in 10 seconds, the crew and maybe even Captain McSorley didn't know why. They would want to know. We owe it to them. But alas what do I know? 🤷‍♂️

I knew Michael Schumacher was a great driver, I had no idea he wrote documentaries. /s

She fractured her hull at the sixth fathom shoals the taken on water. The hit by 2 rogue haves with the Anderson Cooper stated the were hit with. The first wave caused her nose to hit the bottom and the second caused her to break in two.

So cool and great to see

I wish I could find more information about my great grandmother who came here in 1909. She was only 9 years old and was "sponsored" by an Italian mob family and put into a textile factory outside of Philly. I can only imagine how this journey was for her. She spoke of those years with anger and fear. It is so hard to find information about her history.

Born in Bermuda and the first time I came to the states was on the Queen of Bermuda. Our parents made sure we were awake to see the Statue of Liberty

Seen a lot of scary things in my time but looking at broken bent windows of the Edmund Fitzgerald is freaky knowing men had been standing there.😢

My great grandparents and grandmother came here from Calabria Italy after the 1908 earthquake. This video tells me we the USA didn’t treat them very well. A lot of Italians worked in coal mines in West Virginia. We sold them fairytales.

Huh, this guy had YT videos before YT or the Internet existed...very forward thinking.

A guy, my sister‘s neighbor works with was at Walmart one day and started talking to a guy in the checkout line who said his second cousins sister on his cousins side, graduated college with a guy who said some boy he grew up with Dad had a boat back in the day😂🤭😝😬🙂‍↔️🧐

Filming this documentary in B&W was also a crime.
