The story of the ship and its crew is still well known to those living in Michigan, thanks in large part to the efforts of author and maritime historian Fred Stonehouse. Fred's book "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is regarded to be "the" source of information on the topic. (Book link available below.)
