Michigan author promises new info on Edmund Fitzgerald wreck in latest book

BAY CITY, MI โ€” Michigan author and Great Lakes historian Ric Mixter is speaking in Bay City this month on his latest book, โ€œTattletale Sounds: The Edmund Fitzgerald Investigations,โ€ which promises new information on the wreck nearly half a century later.

His โ€œTattletale Soundsโ€ is an exclusive look at the Fitzgerald and the Detroit Riverโ€™s role in shipbuilding that ended with two other ships after the Fitzgerald.

A photo of a monster-sized prehistoric fish laid out on a boat deck next to a much smaller person is evidence of one of the largest lake sturgeon ever recorded in the United States. The fish was caught last week by the Detroit River native species crew of the Alpena Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office, according to a news release via Facebook. She was quickly processed and returned to the river - but not before snapping the eye-catching photo. The conservation office describes the sturgeon as a โ€œreal-life river monsterโ€ and a โ€œonce in a lifetime catch.โ€Officials believe the fish has been roaming the Detroit River and surrounding waters for more than 100 years, hatching in the Detroit River around 1920.
