Shipwreck Museum’s Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Ceremony
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society will hold two separate 50th Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial ceremonies at Whitefish Point on Monday, November 10th, 2025. A ceremony for the general public will take place at 2:00 PM, and a ceremony for family members only will take place at 7:00 PM, which will be livestreamed for the public.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be NO tent or seating setup for the public ceremony, as November can have volatile weather that would cause more harm than good. There is limited parking at Whitefish Point, so visitors should be prepared to park along the shoulder of the road prior to reaching Whitefish Point, and walk to the ceremony.
Under no circumstances will the evening ceremony for the family members of the Edmund Fitzgerald be open to the public.
The evening ceremony will be live streamed, with the link made available prior to the ceremony via our website and social media channels.
Further information will be forthcoming in 2025, with details and guidelines for national, state and local media requests.
