S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald

The reverse usesfull colour over detailed engraving to recreate the marine conditionsof that fateful evening in 1975 as S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald struggles in its quest to beat the fearsome winter storm. In the ship’s final hour at sea, hurricane-force winds have driven the turbulent watersof Lake Superior into a frenzy, with great waves crashing against theFitzgerald’s red and white bow and sweeping across the deck of the cargo-laden freighter. Still, the brave crewmembers push on as thesnow squall rages on, with the ship’s lights faintly glowing inthe cold, dark night. Framing this dramatic scene is the engraved outline of the Canadian shoreline of southeastern Lake Superior, where the Fitzgerald hoped the Canadian highlands would provide some refuge from the worst of the storm; instead, those very waters would become thefinal resting place for the legendary vessel and her entire crew.
