- I found the artifacts from The Edmund Fitzgerald that were brought to the surface. The ship sank on November 10, 1975 taking 29 men.
The Los Angeles Times says, "Scott Michaels knows where the bodies are buried!"

Gordon Lightfoot haunting song about this tragedy still gives me goosebumps.
"Does anyone know where the love of God goes . . ." That slide guitar couldn't be more eerie. I know what you mean about the goosebumps.
That song still haunts me when I hear it. As a kid if I heard it at night there would be no sleeping :)
So true! An amazing song and tribute.
I was 13. I remember my dad crying over news from television twice in my life. One, landing on the moon. Two, The Edmund Fitzgerald. Though in Arkansas, it affected him as he was in the Coast Guard in World War II, stationed at Pearl Harbor (after the attack, but not long after). He said, I may not have been a seaman by ship, but I was brother to my seaman at sea. I never understood what he meant, until I heard the song.
If your father is still with us. Please give him our thanks for his service to our country.
@@tracycc123 Sadly he left 17 years ago, and now resides on the heavenly waves. But thank you. My mom was also Coast Guard and they met on Pier 11 in Honolulu. The joke between them was, she actually out ranked my dad. They were married nearly 70 years before dad passed. My mom lived till 99 years of age.
My dad was stationed with the Navy in Honolulu in 1952-56, I wonder if he crossed paths with your parents or perhaps they were back stateside before he got there ? When he came back he joined the AirForce so he could go to the Space base at Vandenburg.AFB.
This looks like a great museum Scott.
It was Gordon Lightfoot's masterpiece that brought my awareness of the wreck. Thank you Scott & Troy for taking us on this journey with you. The life size wax figures in the musuem was a nice touch and added so much. Seeing the bell so lovingly cared for and cherished made my eyes well up a bit. Thanks again.
Two of the crew were from my hometown. A classmate of mine is o his way there now to ring the bell in honor of his cousin, who perished that fateful night!!!💔💔💔 Never forget!!!
There will be a memorial service broadcast tonight at 7 on utube from the museum. I follow the ships via video cameras on the lakes. The Anderson is one of my and hundreds of others favorite ship. She made it to the safety of whitefish bay but went back into the storm to search. Over 30,000 lives have been lost on the lakes. A proud Michigander.
I remember my 1st grade teacher playing the song for us in 1996 after she told us the story, and I believe i visited the museum with my family around the same time. I watched the video Ask a Mortician did and grew to respect the story even more. Thank you for bringing all of us to the museum with you. May all those who were lost at sea Rest in Peace. 🙏
It's a fantastic song. Unbelievably moving lyrics. "Does any one know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours"....Wow! moves me to tears every time. So gut-wrenching.
Just a side note.... parents please, teach your children how to act in public, or take them outside. Especially in a place of reverence, such as this.
I completely agree.
Amen.
Well said.
Definitely. I don’t think this museum was appropriate for a young child. One a bit older who could learn something from the exhibit, sure, but not a wee one.
Yes, this was no place for a screaming child . That’s what playgrounds are for .
Scott, being similar in age to you I too am extremely interested in thos topic. Thank you for this video. BTW the U.P. is absolutely beautiful.
My grandfathers ship was on the lake that night same night, he told me about the radio communications they had that night.
Thank for all you do, Scott- followed you for years
Nice commentary on the Edmund Fitzgerald. I was up there to white fish point 2 weeks ago. Highly recommend the ship wreck museum
Gordon Lightfoot’s song haunted me as a kid, and still does. RIP to all who died on the Edmund Fitzgerald. I’d love to visit that museum.
The guitar was the part of the song that got to me.
Thank you, Scott. This was very nice, and seeing the artifacts was very moving.
Enjoyed the diving suit my grandpa was one of the first navy divers and was the man sent down to inspect damage of the Maine ship that started the Spanish American war he was a Captain of minesweeper ships
I was almost 11 when this tragedy occurred. Of course, growing up in MI, it has been and will always be, part of our history.
I have been obsessed wthe sinking of it and Titantics too
As a Michigan native ...crossing over Mackinac Bridge is always a thrill for me since I was young and loved going up north every Summer..didnt get to go last few years . My dad is buried in Ossineke . Near Alpena off US23 ...missed cleaning his grave this year as well ..ugh.
I want to be up north from my little township of Clinton twp..
Really need to go soon..
Rest in peace to all those that perished that fateful day
I love traveling over the Mac bridge, as long as I'm not driving! Seeing the river below through the slats in the bridge, not to mention the shimmy your car does as it goes over the bridge!!
Is it white fish point or white fish Bay? I've been to the up ( Drummond Island) and I always thought it was white fish bay. I'm a transplant from Pa, and have only been up north a few times. In sau Saint Marie, they have a ship that did tours and they had pieces from the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
You can also climb the lighthouse there too, it’s so worth the views. Thanks for visiting our beautiful state!
I remember this night so well very scary storm
Beautiful state, My son and his family lived in Cheboygan for 4 years, Hubby and i would drive from Florida to Cheboygan every summer to visit the grandkids
I had no idea they salvaged that many things from the wreck! Awesome!
The bell was the only thing salvaged the rest of the things either came loose as she went down or at some point came loose and drifted to shore. It's a very unsettling fact that part of the reason the families did not want anymore diving is some of bodies are beside the wreck and visible in the pilot house. Unlike anywhere else they still look like they did that fateful day due to the temperature or as in the song Superior doesn't give up her dead.
I've been in there and you can FEEL the "energy" coming off some of these items. Especially the Edmund Fitzgerald bell...it's eerie in there. But, beautiful.
LOVE northern Michigan including the stunning Mackinac Island and Big Mac bridge which we’ve walked on Labor Day. This is a beautiful area in general and thank you for the tribute videos to this amazing freighter and crew. Side note- be sure to check out Java Joe’s cafe in St Ignace.
Been there and loved it
I have always been fascinated with it as well. Great song about it too. Shipwrecks in general are fascinating to research and read about.
Just got back from there a few days ago... It's a very interesting place to visit and you did a great job representing it, Scott!
I absolutely love visiting the point... I go every few years...
Michigan in whole is a beautiful state with lots of history!!
I've crossed the Mighty Mack at least 9 times this year alone
Great video! Have to put this on my bucket list for sure.
When Gordon Lightfoot ' s song came on the radio, their was no vh1-you had to use your imagination to visualize the horror!
In 1975, we lived near Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. On that fateful morning, I was driving along the 'Lakeshore Parkway' southward, through Corunna. The cargo ship, the 'Lakeshell 2' was docked there, and I stopped and spoke with some crewmembers. I made mention of the winds and they agreed, saying they'd heard that one of the big ships had sunk that morning. At that point they did not know which one. So whenever I hear Gordon Lighfoot's song, I think of that sad morning.
This is a lovely video. Well done.
A personal pet peeve is people who don’t put their phones on silent in a museum. People are there to learn, on their own volition. The noise is disruptive and disrespectful.
Went on a glass bottom tour - fascinating!
Like someone else said, I've been a Titanic fan since childhood. Then I was introduced to Clive cusslers books - he had me hooked, line, and sinker!
The movie Raise the Titanic (based on Cussler's book for those who don't know) was a flop, but the soundtrack is fantastic!
This is Cindy, I've commented a few times on your videos. I'm from 8 mile and Van Dyke. Right before you said, "People swim up here. Are they nuts?" I was just thinking about how I'm afraid of Lake Superior. Lol. How it's so deep and cold that it preserves bodies, lol. And its SOO unpredictable. That's one lake I won't even go on a boat on. I LOVE Mackinac Island. Have very fond memories there. And Houghton Lake. My Aunt and Uncle had a cabin there and then built a house on the land they owned. Just sold after my uncle passed in 2015.
Great and fascinating video, Scott. Thanks and keep up the great work! ❤
Well done… very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I love the shipwreck museum. I’ve wandered around there for hours, reading the plaques and watching the movie. We used to vacation in St. Ignace; we love that area of the country!
Thank You..
Wonderful video. thanks Scott
This is a place, that I’d really enjoy visiting. Thank you for this tour.
Great Vlog Scott and Troy. So interesting and educational. The little girl looking out the window in the caretakers quarters was a bit creepy.
Thanks for becoming Yoopers for a day and sharing it with us.
Wow thanks for posting. I live in the Great Lakes region always wanted to see this museum
Beautiful area and museum. For the longest time I thought that the Edmund Fitzgerald wrecked in the 19th or early twenty- first century 🤦 I guess it's because the Gordon Lightfoot song has that old fashioned sea shanty feel to it. Thanks Scott 💫
Thanks for another great one
November 10, 1975. That is a flashbulb date in my memories. I remember where I was and what I was doing that day. It took over the news and the papers; everyone talked about it non-stop. Since that day I've written dozens of middle and high school papers and even a couple of college papers on the Fitz. It was my go-to topic. I knew all that there was to know and I still remember a lot of it to this day.
For me, the Edmund Fitzgerald never really sank. It simply remains in the mist and just over the horizon in the distance. Captain McSorley and his crew now on patrol to keep mariners on other ships safe in their journeys. Fair winds and following seas, sailors.
Great stuff! Thanks!
This always fascinated me. Thank you for sharing!!
Beautiful video work, Scott! (and Troy too) I never knew the story behind the song, which played so much on the radio that I got sick of it. Besides, what do I know? I'm from the SF Bay Area. Since the pandemic started, all I've been doing is looking up stories events, incidents, and so on that I missed out on as a sheltered kid in the 70s. I love history and crime stories :P and finding a new story I never heard before. Anyway, Imma go read the words to the song and enjoy that. That one display of what a lighthouse is: A guiding light. A welcome sight for people heading home from sailing on the dangerous lake. Thank you, Scott and Troy. Wish I could travel, but you make clips here that are important in history.
Thanks Scott, yet another great video ❤.
The first tragedy I remember when I was 7or 8.thanks for covering it.Rock on
Actually she sunk half in each side of the borders. And the grates on Mighty Mac are spooky. And that Franel lense is beautiful.
Thanks for this video Scott and for taking us along
Thank you Scott. This was very nice and seeing the artifacts was. very moving
Thank you for this amazing tour! Very interesting! Someplace I will never get to in my lifetime I’m sure!
So many ships have sunk over the last two centuries on the Great Lakes. I saw the Titanic Exhibit in LA that is still running and it was very educational and well worth the visit.
Love this ❤
I am fascinated by Great Lakes shipwrecks but the one that flips me out is the S.S. Kamloops, which has the body of a crew member that follows the divers around. They call him old Whitey. Talk about crapping your wetsuit! In Toronto we call Lightfoot “one chord Gord”.
Thanks for the trip. Very interesting. Take care
Awesome video Scott, thank you for sharing! That's somewhere I will probably never get to, so it is great to see a piece of Great Lakes history.
Scott, i love the content on your channel. Gordon lightfoot's song made me more curious about the mighty Fitz and i watched both documentaries done by Discovery and History channel. I pay tribute every november 10th by posting the lyrics and playing the song. One day i hope to visit this museum.
Hey Scott, have you ever been to one of the Titanic exhibits? I went to one in Branson, MO, several years ago and it was very good. I didn't realize that the Fitzgerald had sank in 1975. I really thought it was earlier than that. Good job Scott and Troy. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing museum, i have a maritime collection, mainly tall ships that sailed in the oceans but do have a couple items from the great lakes one being a rope hook off the schooner " Milwaukee Belle" which sank in 1886 near Beaver Island in Lake Michigan. Ive looked over the years for an artifact from the Fitzgerald to no avail. But do have a small reproduction bell similar to yours. Thank you so much for sharing this video. 0:36
Thank you for sharing. That was a good tour
Great museum tour vlog, great vlog period 👌.
Hey scott, fellow michigander here, now in the San Diego region. As always love your work, and this one's exceptionally moving. Been to the museum and grounds at Whitefish Point many times. Truly a world-class exhibit in a gorgeous location. Many fond memories of our Irish Wolfhound running on the beach. Anyhow, cheers best wishes and thank you as always.
Thank you! You are very kind. It’s such a haunting place.
We love going to White fish point. My kiddos love playing in the freezing cold water collecting rocks❤
I lived in Sault Ste. Marie two years after it happened. The Coast Guard station where I was stationed got the distress call. We used to cross that bridge going to concerts at Castle Farms.
Thank you very much for taking us on the tour of the Shipwreck Museum and the Lighhouse. I've always wanted to go there... but am grateful to see it here. I was 21 when the Fitzgerald sank and remember it so well. To think that some of the sailors were my age... so young. May they all Rest in Peace.
I can still remember when the news reports from Cleveland, Ohio started coming in about a Great Lakes freighter lost in a storm that Nov. 10 almost 50 years ago., and how the Arthur Anderson was there trying to find the Edmund Fitzgerald. Very sad.
Love the music, would love to visit there.
I was stationed at Wursmith AFB Oscoda next to Lake Huron and traveled up and down to the Lake Michigan side of the state. This was between 1981-82.
Great video! Thank u
The Mackinaw bridge is scary😐 Been over it numerous times visiting Michigan and coming home to Wisconsin. Feels like it goes on forever!
Thank you for this. I am Michigan girl born and raised. The Edmund Fitzgerald is the reason why I enjoy maritime history so much. There is also the valley camp in sault st Marie that is another museum that has artifacts too
The background music you used for this vid is just beautiful and fitting. What is the name of this gorgeous song?
When this song came out, I loved it. Gordon Lightfoot had a voice that is very soothing to listen to.
I must admit I haven't heard it in quite a few years, so I don't recall the lyrics, but I do know I really liked it.
Cut to this morning watching this video..
I guess I always knew the wreck was a true story, but something that happened at least 100 years ago.
I am blown away to find out that this happened in my lifetime. I was 12 years old and I do not recall anything about this at all. I watched the news after I got cleaned up for dinner every night with my Dad waiting for dinner.
I'm stunned that I have no memory of this at all.
All I can think of is that my Dad (who was very ill, always) may have been in the hospital at this time & we either were shipped off to caregivers or in home babysitters.
I'm off to go listen to this song & Google the lyrics. I'm just shaking my head, still blown away!!! 🤯
Thank you Scott for the great video & the amazing history lesson!!!
👍👍
I only knew about the shipwreck from the song. I had no idea it happened on a lake! Thanks Scott and Troy for the museum tour. May all who lost their lives be at rest in their dark coldwater grave.⚓️🙏🙏
Amazing vid....Thank you Scott and Troy❤
TY, TY TY - excellent video! Now I wish I had gone here when I had the chance!
Cool story. When you get a chance check out the SS Dominator shipwreck off the coast of Palos Verdes peninsula. Not as romantic as the Fitzgerald story, but LA history nonetheless.
Thanks Scott
This is such an incredible video!!!! I love anything pertaining to the Edmund Fitzgerald. Where i live in Wisconsin, we have the remains of the Lottie Cooper on display and you can actually walk through it. Its amazing for sure. Thank you for doing this incredible video! 😊
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much ❤️😘
You are at my home love it
Lived near Detroit all my life and remember when the Fitz was all over the news. So tragic. Actually just found out that the bow is in US waters and the stern is in Canadian waters. Who knew 🤷♀️
Being from Michigan, your video of the cruise with the Big Mac to the coastline was incredibly well put together. So many trees to see along that drive. Where did you and Troy end up staying? (There isn’t much for accommodation in the area.) The Falls is always nice to visit as well with its copper color. Safe travels always.
I haven't been up there in years, such great memories. Thanks Scott. RIP Fitz captain and crew.💙🩵💙
Scott, such a wonderful tour! I thought they'd dock this for the beginning of the video due to Gorden Lightfoot's song. 😅 Glad they didn't! The lighthouse was phenomenal! Very well presented, although a tad creepy with the wax figures looming about!!! 😮 I really enjoyed the tour! ❤❤❤
I spent one day at Mackinaw Island for my honeymoon (my 1st marriage. We sat in the bar that night and watched the last episode of Mash. My grandfather had a heart attack the day after our wedding, so I returned to Iowa to be there when he woke up from a quad bypass surgery. 😢 Now, when we look at those pictures of the wedding, you can see how sick he was. 😢😢😢
I'm glad he was there, but it also makes me feel guilty. He disliked the man I married, for years I thought him being there caused his heart attack. I went on to nursing school, and of course, I learned that's not true! He went on to live another 12 years after his bypass! 😊😊😊
I lived in the Great Lakes area (Lake Ontario) most of my childhood. What people who have never been to this area sometimes don't realize these 'lakes' are like small oceans. The storms that would come across the lakes and these ships would see rival anything you'd see out on the open ocean.
For the entire video, I heard Gordan's song play in my head. Thank you for taking us along with you on your tour of this incredible place, I always wondered what Lake Superior looked like. And I'm sure the water is as cold as it looks in this video, it gave me chills. Rest in Peace all who have lost their lives in that Lake, you will not be forgotten.
Great video. You should do one on Leslie Pluhar who accidentally drove her vehicle off the Mackinac bridge in sept 1989. They recovered her vehicle a few days later.
I just looked her up. Speeding across the bridge in a lightweight car in heavy winds. But it's the bridge's fault.
Awesome video! Thank you.
Didn’t realize work on the Great Lakes could be so perilous. Thank you Scott for this video.
interesting video. haven grown up in port colborne along the Welland canal I have always had an interest in this story. several of my uncles and cousins and my father were great lake sailors
Thank you for touching video
Great video, been there many years ago, thanx for a great video
What a wonderful and sad display of ships and their men that parrished for God only knows what reason. Thank you dearly departed for this taking us a long on this touching tour through the museum. Also thank you for turning down the original back ground volume. Stay safe blessings, cheers.
I appreciate you going along with me.
It looks like the effing ocean with those whitecaps!
That was a Great tour of the museums.
Very interesting!
So many cool artifacts.
That was a lot of ships lost over the years!
Who’d think that the weather on a lake could get so bad!
I remember Gordon’s haunting song on the radio,in the 70s.
And because the bottom of the lakes are so cold nothing rots.
My great-grandfather was a merchant marine during World War II; since he grew up to be a fisherman in the upper peninsula, it was a natural choice.
As an Irish immigrant via Canada, the family was all farmers & dairy owners, and fishermen… & as much as I love to hear my grandmother’s stories about growing up there, and doing south to hunt, heading out on the boat to fish w/ him, & childhoods spent swimming in the FREEZING🥶 lake + river waters… & abt 9+ ft snow drifts outside their door in the winter, that they had to tunnel out of at times…
I would listen & never be SO FU@$*NG HAPPY that my maternal UP, Michigan side & Paternal Eerie, PA side both, somehow, ✨MAGICALLY,✨ made it all the way south to TEXAS… & then, met up.
(Both grandparents were the only kids in their family to leave…) bc this Lonestar lady (me) can barely imagine putting more than her big toe in those Great Lakes or living thru a winter colder than 18°… oh what a blessed destiny!🙏🏻😂
However, I love going up north in summer and am glad to add a new place to visit to my wishlist, thanks for the virtual visit- y’all are always so great at this…
I appreciate the thought to take us “traveling” alongside u!
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks for this video and i learned alot more about that ship.
Love Whitefish Point! We usually stayed at Cloud Nine cabins in Paradise, MI when going up to the U.P.
The Mighty Fitz was beautiful, I spent a lot of my summers as a child on Lake Erie.
You could hear her coming up to 8 miles away. She was always blasting music.
When we heard her coming, we ran to the water, if Captain McSorley saw us he would blow her horn.
The summer of 76 was weird her not being there.
Pre covid they actually had the crews quarters open as a bed and breakfast where you could stay. My wife and I stayed there a couple times. It was neat going out on that deck on the water at night with a warming beverage and blanket, and watching the freighters go by. Sadly it's no longer open for that.
My input: the background music 🎶 is not only fitting, it is really good.
