Lost Mariners: An Evening of Remembrance
Detroit Historical Society hosts an evening of remembrance on Tuesday, November 10, at 6:30 p.m. at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum in Detroit, marking 51 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. Expect a documentary screening, a Q&A and warm drinks; tickets are $20 for members, $25 general admission.
The evening centers on a screening of We Finished Their Journey, a documentary about the 2025 Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Swim. Seventeen relay teams of four symbolically retraced the ship's route, passing iron ore pellets between them from the same dock in Superior, Wisconsin, where the Fitzgerald took on its last load.
Afterward, swimmer and organizer Jim Dreyer, who has swum all five Great Lakes, and David Volk, the swim's ground operations director, talk about the swim and the making of the film in a Q&A. It's also a chance to remember the 29 men lost aboard the Fitzgerald and others lost in Great Lakes sinkings. Warm drinks and cookies are on hand.
The program runs from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $20 for members and $25 general admission.
