Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald.

This resolution would have the U.S. House of Representatives mark the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, a Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975. It would honor the 29 crew members who died. It would also recognize the role of Great Lakes shipping in the nation's economy, security, and culture. Finally, it would acknowledge historians, museums, mariners, and Great Lakes communities who preserve the ship's memory and promote maritime education.
