Launching of the Edmund Fitzgerald 6-8-1958 (#1) Mug
SS Edmund Fitzgerald (nicknamed "Mighty Fitz," "The Fitz," or "The Big Fitz") was an American Great Lakes freighter launched on June 8, 1958. Over 15,000 people attended the Fitzgerald's launch. The event was troublesome. When Mrs. Edmund Fitzgerald christened the boat by smashing a champagne bottle over the bow, it took her three swings to break the bottle. The launch was delayed 36 minutes while the shipyard crew struggled to release the keel blocks. Upon launching sideways into the water, the boat crashed violently into a dock.Although she had reported having some difficulties during a gale on Lake Superior, the Fitzgerald sank suddenly on November 10, 1975 in 530 feet of water without sending any distress signals. The precise cause of her sinking remains a mystery. All 29 on board were lost.

This is a gorgeous mug that makes me feel as though I am outdoors in my Hosta garden, on a beautiful day in Spring! The printing is lovely and sharp just like my painting. I shall be displaying this mug at an exhibition soon!

My sisters and Mom and I love Christmas and the Holiday season in general, so I thought how perfect to be able to personalize one of our fave Holiday movies! They came out beautifully and my sisters and Mom were very touched! See for yourself in my picture attached! 2 out of 4 were Perfect! The printing turned out badly for 2 of 4 and they were also broken in shipping. Zazzle was amazing and shipped out 2 new replacements that were perfect!! So 4 out of 4 were perfect! Excellent customer service!!

I was thrilled this came out so well. It is a very attractive mug with the colored handle and interior. Being able to personalize it was easy! It was designed for an end of the year thank you gift to the special recipient. perfect. Text lines up perfectly parallel to the top edge of the mug.
