THE LEGEND LIVES ON FROM THE CHIPPEWA ON DOWN, OF THE BIG LAKE THEY CALL GITCHEE-GUUMI!

I was reading just earlier that for a movie, some cargo ship got repainted as the Fitzgerald. When it chugged in to a harbor people evidently started melting down, because they assumed it was the original brought back to life.

Canadian engineer Phil Nuytten’s atmospheric diving suit, known as the Newtsuit, was used to retrieve the bell from the ship, replace it with a replica, and put a beer can in Edmund Fitzgerald’s pilothouse.
