29 Missing

     One of the shortest books about the Edmund Fitzgerald, but one of the neatest in the eyes of many.  Containing maps and photos, this 50 page book is in a reasonable price range and shares tons of info in a minimal amount of pages.

The Night The Fitz Went Down

by Hugh E. Bishop, Captain Dudley Paquette

     A 192 page paperback book about the ship, and one of the most recent books about the Fitz's sinking.  This book is coauthored by a captain who was on Lake Superior the night the Fitz went down, and he shares personal memories of that night, and what he thinks happened.  A definite must-read.  It is very biographical about Captain Paquette, so some may find this book off-subject.

The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald

by Frederick Stonehouse

     Arguably the best text about the Edmund Fitzgerald in print, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald takes readers through the several theories involving the wreck, and the continuing investigation which took place after the ship sank.  Frederick Stonehouse has made this addition to the family of Fitz books a sure-fire hit for Edmund Fitzgerald enthusiasts!  Click here to read an interview conducted by Timothy McCall with him.

Gales of November

by Robert J. Hemming

     This book, based on theory itself, explores theories of the sinking, and gives background information that no other book offers.  It shares moments that were suspected to have happened on the ship before it sank, and shares information about some of the crew members.  Though the book is partially fiction, it is very informative, and worth the price to buy it.  S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald Online highly recommends buying a copy of this book for your home library!
