Launching of the Edmund Fitzgerald 6-8-1958 (#4) T-Shirt
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.

The product was as advertised. The message is succinct and is an eye-catcher. This shirt gets a heap of feedback from onlookers. Most ask you to stand still while they finish reading the definition. They then either give you the thumbs-up or nod any walk away. Either way, its a real conversation starter and so far, no one has disagreed enough with the print to verbalize. The material is fairly light, but the print is stable enough to withstand washes and some activity. A fair deal. Readable and durable.
