Reblogged from All Things Great Lakes:
The Edmund Fitzgerald may be the most famous of all Great Lakes shipwrecks but other shipping tragedies on the lakes actually claimed more lives.
One of those was the November 1958 sinking of the Carl D. Bradley. The 638-foot long freighter snapped in two during a violent gale and plunged to the bottom of Lake Michigan, killing 33 sailors. (The 1975 sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior claimed 29 lives).
