SS Arthur M. Anderson is famous for being the last ship to be in contact with SS Edmund Fitzgerald before the Fitzgerald sank on 10 November 1975. Arthur M. Anderson was also the first rescue ship on the scene in a vain search for Edmund Fitzgerald survivors. Here is the Anderson at Rotary Park Monday on her way to Duluth. Thank you for the wonderful salute! | I Love Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

🚢 SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America’s Great Lakes and remains the largest to have sunk there. She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975, by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic anomalies, and found soon afterwards to be in two large pieces.
