Thank you for posting this online so it’s available for people to see who never saw the original film in person.

Thank you for posting this video. I greatly look forward to any future Great Lakes historical shipping videos.

Thank you, I feel kind of the way I felt the first time I saw two opposing mirrors, how that both, remove, and add to perspective. This documentary on a history at the edge of current memory for that time, is now to me, representing an almost distant time. Well thanks again. It went was too short in my opinion.

Really well made with these drawings,photographs,interviews and song on the end to take us into this sad moments. Only thing I dont get you made video 18+ available to watch :D

[@rampancyproductions]

I had a couple reasons, but it looks like most people seem to be appreciative of the video. I'll turn it off. :)

[@mollymullinix1220]

Probably made it 18+ bc of the few graphic pictures and the stories of dead

How many tragedies on the Great Lakes always begin with - "one last trip"? RIP to all of the lost mariners on those treacherous inland seas.

Why would death in cold lake water move one's mustache up his face?👀

[@rapman5363]

It wouldn’t, she was just a kid and I’m sure she’s mistaken. I believe she saw ice on his face mixed with snot and vomit and confused it with a mustache.

[@josephdillon7420]

If the mustache was long enough, it sounds as if it was twisted and frozen in place on his cheek. Makes sense to me. The key word is frozen as in ice.

[@LadyOaksNZ]

Fascinating but gloomily sad dark history.

Couldn't do anything ?.....No I wasn't there but I have to wonder about that ....I'm sorry I've heard of other ships being heroic to save the sinking men ..

[@johncashler3611]

Need to make a video of the museum with narration of all the object's. Was there once and not enough time to take it all in.

[@robertengland8769]

The Edmund Fitzgerald of course.

[@corkcamden9878]

I dont know why the diver even touched the skull. I imagine he or she just wasn't thinking.

[@Darkside-sj3mo]

He actually took that ring too, it's in the museum at Whitefish point, Tom farnquist is a thief.

[@MikeHunt-fo3ow]

neato good doc

[@irishheart4768]

I will never understand why they have to disturb ship that have sunk.

[@Stereostupid]

It's a graveyard in a way yes but do they stop you from going to a graveyard?they should do as much research as possible on all these ships to help prevent it from ever happening again even going back to the Fitz with the best technology of every improvement...but I do think they shouldn't steal things...it should only be done for the right reasons with the upmost respect and care

[@chuckie8059]

Sounds like Leonard Nimoy narrating

[@tammysims8716]

Is that Rachmaninoffs music in the background?

[@kelliebrooks9094]

There tje trouble tje first ship to try an fail on the lakes was the invincble wow not a good start or good name....

[@Sound4Deaf]

Lmao ok...I can see why this was so controversial now. "Yeah man just wave that leg bone around a bit for the camera!"
