Edmund Fitzgerald sank in the Lake Superior 40 years back with 29 on board

It was on 10 November 1975 that freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank to the bottom of Lake Superior with 29 people on board - its reason of sinking remains mired in maritime mystery till this day. The 729-foot ore-carrier, called the "Queen of the Great Lakes" had gone down during a brutal storm on the eastern section of the lake, but the exact reason continues to elude experts and historians.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 10 November 2015.

There have been possibilities ranging from space aliens, to various other theories and, in the absence of survivors, the mystery remains because the ship was traveling with 90 mph winds and waves measuring 25 feet and the vessel was laden with taconite pellets. It was headed from Superior, Wis., to Detroit and should have been able to survive.
Its captain was the experienced E.R. McSorley and it was being followed by another ship, the Arthur M. Anderson, which never heard a distress call.
The ship is believed to be resting under 535 feet of cold Lake Superior water. It is on the Canadian side of the lake and the Canadian government has closed off all diving to preserve the ship and honor the crew members who rest there.
In 1995, crews were able to retrieve only the ship's bronze bell.
