66 | The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Part 1

Tragedy with a View - A podcast by Tragedy with a View

This week’s part 1 episode looks a little different as my cohost knows significantly more about the events that happened than I do. Join me and my father as we discuss the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a huge lake freighter that handled storms with ease and brought her crew home time and time again, until the Gales of November brought her to her grave. But the question persists- what really happened? Welcome back to Tragedy with a ViewThe outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors.
