This annual event commemorates the sinking of the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975. A film about the Fitzgerald will be shown in the Visitor Center theater throughout the afternoon. The lighthouse and fog signal building will be open and staffed from noon to 6 pm. The lighthouse will close temporarily at 4:30 and the names of the 29 lost crewmembers will be read to the tolling of a ship's bell. Following the ceremony, the beacon will be lit and the tower once again opened for visitors to tour. This is the only time during the year to see the lighted beacon from inside the lighthouse. |
