While the 1975 sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald is the disaster people from outside the Midwest know, the "Witches of November" posed a serious danger to many other vessels--this is the reconstruction of the sinking of the ore ship Daniel J. Morrell on Lake Huron in 1966, and the aftermath of rescue and emergency management. There isn't really any new information here, but a more through repackaging of the Coast Guard inquiries, the two near death experience memoirs by its lone and very traumatized survivor, and engineering speculation on why the ship broke in half in the storm. The really interesting piece mentioned by not explored (and wanting further study) is the way in which communities like Port Huron reacted to these mass casualties--the Coast Guard had plans, but the local hospitals, churches and media scrambled to bad effect, and in the aftermath provided almost no support for Dennis Hale, who was tormented by PTSD and newspaper charges that he'd huddled under dead bodies to survive until finding some catharsis fifteen years later at a Great Lakes Shipwreck Society meeting.
