In the ship’s final hour at sea, hurricane-force winds had driven the turbulent waters of Lake Superior into a frenzy, with great waves crashing against the Fitzgerald’s red and white bow and sweeping across the deck of the cargo-laden freighter. Still, the brave crewmembers pushed on as the snow squall raged on, with the ship’s lights faintly glowing in the cold, dark night.
Framing this dramatic scene is the engraved outline of the Canadian shoreline of southeastern Lake Superior, where the Fitzgerald hoped the Canadian highlands would provide some refuge from the worst of the storm; instead, those very waters would become the final resting place for the legendary vessel and her entire crew.
Third and final coin in a series commemorating well-known vessels that have been lost in Canadian waters and the stories that have emerged from the events surrounding their final fate.
Coin Highlights:
- Contains 1 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
- Comes packaged in a maroon clamshell beauty box with a certificate of authenticity from the mint.
- Obverse: Right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the year and face value.
- Reverse: Design by Canadian artist John Horton uses full color over detailed engraving to recreate the marine conditions of that fateful evening in 1975 as S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald struggles to beat a fearsome winter storm.
- The words “S.S. EDMUND FITZGERALD” and the outline of the ship’s anchor are engraved along the edge of the coin.
- Sovereign coin backed by the Royal Canadian Mint.
