Clay joins author John U. Bacon of Ann Arbor, Michigan, whose book, The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald, takes a new look at the sinking of the Fitzgerald on November 10, 1975. Four years in the making, Bacon's research unearthed new material on the catastrophe, in which all 29 crew members (all men) perished when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down. Was there crew error or hubris in Captain Ernest McSorley? Was the great 729-foot ship structurally unsound? Or was it just a perfect storm? The winds rose to 100 miles per hour that day, and the waves were sometimes 60 feet or more high. The Fitzgerald settled on the bottom of Lake Superior more than 500 feet below the surface. It has been visited several times since, but the Canadian government, whose territorial waters the incident occurred in, severely restricts visitation because it regards it as a gravesite. This episode was recorded on November 24, 2025.

For three decades following World War II, the Great Lakes overtook Europe as the epicenter of global economic strength. The region was the beating heart of the world economy, possessing all the power and prestige Silicon Valley does today. And no ship represented the apex of the American Century better than the 729-foot-long Edmund Fitzgerald―the biggest, best, and most profitable ship on the Lakes.But on November 10, 1975, as the “storm of the century” threw one hundred mile-per-hour winds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior, the Mighty Fitz found itself at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time. When she sank, she took all twenty-nine men onboard down with her, leaving the tragedy shrouded in mystery for a half century.In The Gales of November, award-winning journalist John U. Bacon presents the definitive account of the disaster, drawing on more than one hundred interviews with the families, friends, and former crewmates of those lost. Bacon explores the vital role Great Lakes shipping played in America's economic boom, the uncommon lives the sailors led, the sinking's most likely causes, and the heartbreaking aftermath for those left behind―"the wives, the sons, and the daughters,” as Gordon Lightfoot sang in his unforgettable ballad.Focused on those directly affected by the tragedy, The Gales of November is both an emotional tribute to the lives lost and a propulsive, page-turning narrative history of America's most-mourned maritime disaster. https://www.amazon.com/Gales-November-Untold-Edmund-Fitzgerald/dp/1324094648http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

One of the worst nautical disasters in recent American history is the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. On November 10, 1975, the “storm of the century” threw 100 mile-per-hour winds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior. The ship found itself at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time. When she sank, she took all 29 men onboard down with her, leaving the tragedy shrouded in mystery for a half century. The sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is so strange because the ship was exceptionally large and strong, and would normally be able to shrug off storms like this. At 75 feet wide and 729 feet long, the Fitzgerald was at the time of her launch the largest ship on the lakes, and she repeatedly broke her own records for the largest loads, the fastest runs, and the biggest season hauls throughout her career. She was a champion heavyweight, sprinter, and workhorse, all in one. To make the sinking stranger, she suddenly disappeared in a bad storm on Lake Superior without sending any distress calls despite having a massive modern radio system. The most widely accepted theories for the disaster include the ship hitting a shoal, suffering a structural failure like a broken back, or being overwhelmed by massive "three sisters" rogue waves. However, some less common and conspiracy-like theories suggest the crew did not properly close the hatch covers, the ship was actually split by a UFO, or that it was the victim of a secret Coast Guard experiment gone wrong. Todays’ guest is John Bacon, author of “The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” We explore the vital role Great Lakes shipping played in America’s economic boom, the uncommon lives the sailors led, the sinking’s most likely causes, and the aftermath for those left behind.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

IX En este episodio nos adentramos en tres casos reales, documentados y profundamente inquietantes, donde la frontera entre la criminología y lo inexplicable se vuelve difusa. El primero nos lleva a Galicia, enero de 1994, al Monte de Avenceñas, en A Estrada (Pontevedra). Allí aparece el cuerpo sin vida de Rosalía Gonçalves da Silva, una joven portuguesa asesinada con tres disparos y dispuesta en la montaña rodeada de velas rojas. Durante días, la Guardia Civil no logra identificar a la víctima. Lo que ocurre después marca un hito en la criminología española: una sesión de ouija proporciona un nombre, un origen y un número de teléfono. La información conduce directamente a los asesinos. El caso fue documentado por el criminalista Francisco Pérez Caballero en Dossier Negro y sigue generando debate décadas después. Viajamos después a Chicago, Estados Unidos, al 21 de febrero de 1977. En un apartamento del complejo Pine Grove, en el barrio de Lincoln Park, es hallado el cuerpo de Teresita Basa, terapeuta respiratoria de 47 años, asesinada y parcialmente quemada bajo un colchón en llamas. Meses más tarde, su nombre vuelve a escucharse de una forma imposible: a través de Remedios Chua, una compañera de hospital que asegura ser poseída por el espíritu de la víctima. Los datos que aporta conducen a A.S., quien termina confesando el crimen. Un caso que desafió a la policía, a los tribunales y a la lógica, y que aún hoy se estudia como uno de los más extraños de la historia criminal estadounidense. El último caso nos traslada a Machynlleth, Gales, en octubre de 2012. April Sue-Lyn Jones, una niña de cinco años, desaparece tras subir a un vehículo cerca de su casa. Su asesino, es condenado a cadena perpetua. No hay médiums ni sesiones espiritistas. Hay algo distinto: el propio asesino asegura, ya en prisión, que la niña está con él, que no le deja dormir, que su presencia es constante. Psicología, culpa… o algo más. Tres historias. Tres formas distintas en las que los muertos o su recuerdo parecen negarse a desaparecer. Este episodio no ofrece respuestas cómodas. Plantea preguntas. Y deja al oyente decidir qué explicación es la más inquietante. Si te interesa la criminología, los casos reales y aquellos puntos donde la razón empieza a fallar, este programa es para ti.

At the height of America's postwar boom, no region was more vital to the nation's economic strength than the Great Lakes. It was the beating heart of the global economy—possessing all the power and prestige that Silicon Valley enjoys today. This industrial dominance depended on Great Lakes freighters getting iron ore from the shores of Lake Superior to the factories in Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland.Few endeavors have bound time so mercilessly to money as Great Lakes shipping did at its peak, and no vessel had been more perfectly designed to maximize both than the S. S. Edmund Fitzgerald. At 75 feet wide and 729 feet long, the Fitzgerald was at the time of her launch the largest ship on the lakes, and she repeatedly broke her own records for the largest loads, the fastest runs, and the biggest season hauls throughout her career. She was a champion heavyweight, sprinter, and workhorse, all in one.But on November 10, 1975, when the “storm of the century” threw 100 mile-per-hour winds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior, the Mighty Fitz found itself at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time. When she sank, she took all 29 men onboard down with her, leaving the tragedy shrouded in mystery for a half century. In THE GALES OF NOVEMBER, award-winning journalist John U. Bacon presents the definitive account of the disaster, drawing on more than 100 interviews with the families, friends, and former crewmates of those lost. Bacon explores the vital role Great Lakes shipping played in America's economic boom, the uncommon lives the sailors led, the sinking's most likely causes, and the heartbreaking aftermath for those left behind—“the wives, the sons, and the daughters” as Gordon Lightfoot sang in his unforgettable ballad.Focused on those directly affected by the tragedy, THE GALES OF NOVEMBER is both an emotional tribute to the Fitzgerald's captain and crew and a propulsive, page-turning narrative history of America's most-mourned shipwreck.About the Author:John U. Bacon has authored fourteen books on sports, business, and history, the last seven of which are critically acclaimed national bestsellers, including five New York Times bestsellers. He lives in Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan with his wife and son.#edmundfitzgerald #authorpodcast #podcast #johnubacon

El miércoles pasado Rachel Reeves, ministra británica de economía, presentó el presupuesto ante el Parlamento. Bajo el lema de "impuestos justos, servicios públicos fuertes y una economía estable", el plan del gobierno laborista busca enderezar las finanzas públicas heredadas de los años de Gobierno conservador e impulsar el crecimiento. Pero las subidas de impuestos y una serie de recortes han desatado un torbellino de críticas, desde la oposición conservadora hasta sindicatos y empresarios, que lo tildan de desastroso. El núcleo del presupuesto radica en un ambicioso ajuste fiscal para cumplir con las "reglas no negociables" del gobierno. Según el informe de la oficina para la responsabilidad presupuestaria el plan más que duplica el colchón para la regla de estabilidad, alcanzando los 21.700 millones de libras, y proyecta una reducción de la deuda neta como porcentaje del PIB para 2030. El presupuesto elimina el tope de dos hijos en las prestaciones por hijo, una medida que beneficiará a 400.000 familias y costará 2.300 millones de libras anuales. Esto, combinado con el mantenimiento del "Triple Lock" para las pensiones (que garantizará un aumento de 575 libras anuales a partir de abril de 2026), busca combatir la pobreza infantil y apoyar a los jubilados. Más del 75% de los pensionistas en Inglaterra y Gales recibirán el pago de combustible de invierno, un salvavidas en medio de la crisis energética. Además, se congelan las tarifas de los trenes en Inglaterra. Todo aparentemente indoloro hasta que llega el capítulo del endurecimiento fiscal. Hay subida en el impuesto de la renta y de sociedades y multas duplicadas por retrasos en las declaraciones. Además se fortalecen los poderes de la agencia tributaria local para combatir el fraude. En total el Gobierno prevé recaudar 26.000 millones de libras más mientras que eleva el gasto en 11.000 millones. Está por ver que recauden esa cantidad, pero el gasto se realizará hasta el último penique comprometido. No se contempla, por lo demás, una sola reforma para impulsar el crecimiento, el presupuesto se concentra en subir todo lo posible los impuestos para que la aritmética fiscal les cuadre, un clásico de los Gobiernos laboristas desde hace un siglo. Con semejantes mimbres es improbable que el crecimiento remonte ya que esos recrecidos impuestos obrarán justo lo contrario detrayendo dinero de familias y empresas. Un dinero que no se invertirá en la economía productiva, todo lo contrario, se quemará en subsidios que habrán de ser renovados un año tras otro. El plan ha tranquilizado al mercado de bonos, que al menos ya sabe a lo que atenerse, y a los diputados laboristas. Señal inequívoca de que Starmer ha vuelto a poner el partido por delante del país un año más. La incapacidad de Reeves para tomar decisiones difíciles sobre el gasto y la ausencia de una genuina reforma fiscal abundarán en el declive económico del Reino Unido. Esto es algo que comparte la mayor parte de británicos. Sólo el 12% de los ciudadanos cree que vaya a conseguir algo positivo. Starmer ha comprado con este presupuesto un pequeño respiro de cara a sus diputados más radicales, pero los problemas de fondo que ya se encontró hace año y medio (y que se ha encargado de agravar) siguen ahí y podrían ponerse peor. Pues bien, para hablar de este tema nos acompaña hoy Andrea que, como bien sabe la audiencia, tiene verdadera pasión por la política británica. Con ella trataremos de desentrañar esta última maniobra de un Gobierno que lleva menos de 18 meses en el poder, pero por su desgaste se diría que lleva 18 años. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra el pesimismo”… https://amzn.to/4m1RX2R · “Hispanos.

The Heidi Glaus Show - 11.11.25 - Aliens?; Gales of November; and much more by

Send us a textA freighter longer than a skyscraper is tall. Waves four seconds apart that can bend steel. A ballad recorded in a single take that changed how an entire industry thinks about risk. We sat down with John U. Bacon, author of The Gales of November, to trace the Edmund Fitzgerald from blueprint to bell, and from storm science to the quiet rooms where families still keep watch.We unpack what makes the Great Lakes uniquely dangerous: freshwater's sharper, closer-spaced waves; locally brewing systems that sit right over your head; and the long, narrow hulls forced by the Soo Locks. John explains how changes to the Plimsoll line let ships ride lower and heavier than intended, why welded seams and added tonnage tightened margins, and how a northern route, dark beacons, and dead radar turned one November run into a blind sprint. We revisit the race dynamics of the locks, the near-miss culture of “just one more trip,” and the accident chain that can turn routine into tragedy in minutes.Beyond the mechanics, we spend time with the people whose choices and dreams were on board: a celebrated captain delaying retirement to pay for his wife's care, a young deckhand saving for a road trip and a future he'd mapped out, an engineer mailing a ring home days before the lake took him. Then we follow the song—Gordon Lightfoot's first-take recording that became a national memorial—and how attention, grief, and storytelling helped drive reforms. The most striking fact remains: from 1875 to 1975, the lakes saw thousands of wrecks; in the fifty years since the Fitzgerald, not one commercial ship has been lost.If you care about maritime history, human resilience, and how culture can push safety forward, this conversation belongs in your queue. Listen, share with a friend who loves Great Lakes lore or music history, and if it moved you, subscribe and leave a review to help others find the show.

Set sail with maritime historian Sal Mercogliano as we dive deep into the enduring mystery of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a legendary ship lost on the Great Lakes 50 years ago this week. From chilling tales of mariners' lives and the critical role of iron ore trade, to the evolving challenges facing commercial shipping, this episode explores what really happened that stormy night in 1975—and why the story resonates today. Join host Jeff Malec and Sal for a wide-ranging conversation about Great Lakes lore, the economics and environmental impact of shipping, and what the future holds for this vital but often-overlooked industry. Whether you're a shipping enthusiast or new to the story, you'll come away with fresh insights and a newfound appreciation for the ships and people that keep goods moving around the globe.

Today is a significant anniversary for an event that most of us would never know about if it weren't for a song. A song that talks about the gales of November, about how the Chippewa called Lake Superior Gitche Gumee. Of course, I'm talking about The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which happened 50 years ago today. In the song, it says the boat was on its way to Cleveland, and while many crew members lived throughout Northeast Ohio, this time it was on its way to Toledo. I learned so much about the ship's history through my radio, not my history book. And it shows us the power of song in an event never taught in schoolbooks...

The Gales of November is very real on the Great Lakes, known as the “Month of Storms.”Some 550 wrecks lie on the bottom of Lake Superior, at least 200 along Superior's Shipwreck Coast, a treacherous 80-Mile stretch with no safe harbor between Munising and Whitefish Point. On November 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 728 foot freighter went down in a storm described as both blizzard and hurricane taking all 29 crew members to their grave. Made famous by the Gordon Lightfoot song, the wreck has remained a mystery for fifty years.In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with maritime historian, author and lecturer Fred Stonehouse about that tragic night and what we have learned since her sinking and how her legacy has shaped maritime safety. Key TakeawaysThe Edmund Fitzgerald Sank Fifty Years Ago — But Its Mystery EnduresMaritime historian Fred Stonehouse recounts how the 729-foot freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank on November 10, 1975, about 15 miles northwest of Whitefish Point. The ship went down without a distress signal, and all 29 crew members were lost—leaving one of the Great Lakes' most haunting mysteries.A Storm Described as Both a Blizzard and a HurricaneThe night the Fitzgerald went down, Lake Superior raged with winds exceeding 75 miles per hour—stronger than a Category 1 hurricane. As Fred explains, the storm “exceeded 75 miles an hour in wind, and a cat one hurricane's only 74.”Hubris and Hard Lessons on the Great Lakes“This was a time when ships had the attitude that they can't sink.”Fred reflects on how the culture of Great Lakes shipping in the 1970s—driven by confidence and schedules—left little room for caution. The Fitzgerald's loss changed that mindset forever, ushering in a new era of safety, respect, and humility toward Lake Superior.The Edmund Fitzgerald at 50: A Tragedy That Changed Everything“The world had changed in that instance when the Fitzgerald disappeared.” The tragedy sparked widespread reforms—from new navigation technology and onboard stress monitoring systems to emergency response protocols. The Ship That Became a Legend“She has sailed from fact into legend of the Great Lakes.”Fred explains how the Edmund Fitzgerald became immortalized through Gordon Lightfoot's ballad, cultural memory, and even merchandise—from ornaments to craft beer. The ship's story transcended history, turning into one of the most iconic Great Lakes legends.An Underwater Graveyard and a Place of ReverenceFred describes the Fitzgerald's final resting place, protected by the Canadian government and closed to divers since 1989. It remains a solemn memorial to the men who perished that night and a reminder of Lake Superior's power.Connect With Us:Lake Superior Podcast Page – https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

Featured Musician: Karl Kingson THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.]  --------------------- 1. Nebraska Preview: Defense starts around 12:15 pm Play a weird nickelized version of the Rock Long 3-3-5 that has a 235-pound former Indiana linebacker at edge and moveable guys who like to get upfield up front. If you get them blocked up correctly there are ways to gash them. The best team to use against them would be 2023 Michigan—definitely think El-Hadi being out will have an effect. Run the QB? 2. Nebraska Preview: Offense starts at noon Dylan Raiola is a year 2 five-star but hasn't taken that next step despite Nebraska spending a lot of money to put talent around him and gave him Air Raid expert Dana Holgorsen, but they weren't that impressive vs Cincy. Their transfer OL haven't worked out, and they're not sure who's their LT. Those receivers are legit though. 3. Interview w John U. Bacon, author of The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald starts around 12:30 pm Bacon has a new book, so we have him on to talk about the haunting story of the Great Lakes' most famous shipwreck, and the lives, loved ones, and Dodge Chargers that were left behind.

CMU offense wasn't much of a test, but we got to try out the Barham at Edge thing, and want to see it transitioned to the next phase. Also need to talk about QB runs and why Michigan hasn't been able to fit them.
