Every November 10th, the White Fish Point Museum rings the bell that was recovered from the deck of the Edmund Fitzgerald 29 times for the crew that went down with the ship and one more time for the other ships that sank in the Great Lakes. Then the museum closes for the winter and re-opens in the spring. When the bell was re-coverd from the deck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, another bell was put in it's place with the 29 names and job titles each had at the time. |
