Tattletale Sounds: The Edmund Fitzgerald Investigations Paperback – November 10, 2022

An unbiased investigation into the most famous shipwreck lost on the Great Lakes, from a diver who has actually visited the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Mixter shares new theories from the men who built, sailed, searched and dove the Fitzgerald. From the discovery by submarine-finding Orion aircraft to Cousteau's dive and behind the scenes commentary from the submersible crew that found the first missing sailor, this is the only book that firmly discredits the shoaling theory in favor of a detailed look at how a 'heavy weather' captain pushed his broken ship to the limit, causing the loss of 29 men in a November gale in 1975. With details on each of the submersibles and technology that probed 550 feet below the surface, but more uniquely with eyewitness accounts of those who were part of the investigations. Loaded with exclusive photos, there isn't a book on the market with this kind of detail on the "Mighty Fitz" and why it ended up in a song that nearly topped the charts in 1976. Read more
