By Helen Peter

A Gripping True Story of Bravery, Mystery, and the Storm That Shook Maritime History

When the mighty Edmund Fitzgerald-the largest ship on the Great Lakes-vanished beneath the raging November waves in 1975, the world was left stunned. Gales of November takes readers deep into the heart of that unforgettable storm, uncovering the human courage, mechanical power, and tragic vulnerability behind one of America's most haunting maritime disasters.

Helen Peters delivers a masterfully researched narrative that brings the ship and her 29-man crew back to life with vivid detail. From the shipyard where the "Pride of the Great Lakes" was born to the cold, relentless waters of Lake Superior, this book paints a cinematic, pulse-pounding portrait of the final voyage. Readers will step aboard the Fitzgerald, experience the fear and determination of the men who sailed her, and follow investigators through decades of unanswered questions, conflicting theories, and enduring mystery.

Based on first-hand accounts, interviews, historical records, and emotional testimonies from families left behind, Gales of November delivers a powerful blend of storytelling and truth. It honors the bravery of the crew while exploring the storm that forever changed maritime safety.

Suspenseful, deeply human, and unforgettable-this is the definitive telling of the tragedy that still echoes across the Great Lakes.
