I believe she lies in over 500′ of water. I think for the most part you need a permit to dive the site. I’ve read that people who get permits have taken advantage and exploited the wreck site.

I can’t imagine what they must have been thinking that night. I lived in Duluth for 4 years and saw some really nasty stuff/weather out there. I was lucky enough to go down to canal park one night and watch 20’+ waves come in through the lift bridge channel. That lake is it’s own animal.
I have the book “Shipwrecks of the Great Lakes”. It precedes the Edmund Fitzgerald. But it’s an awesome read. The great lakes have many tragic stories.
