In this episode, we sit down with shipwreck researcher and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Ric Mixter, who has dived on over 100 wrecks in the Great Lakes—including the legendary Edmund Fitzgerald. Ric shares what it’s really like to explore a shipwreck tied to tragedy, why the Fitzgerald’s story still resonates nearly 50 years later, and how the Great Lakes compare in danger to the ocean. We also dive into other famous wrecks, the lessons they hold, and the human stories behind them. If you’ve ever been fascinated by the mystery, danger, and history of the Great Lakes, this conversation is not to be missed. https://www.shipwreckpodcast.com/ https://nmgl.org/ https://shipwreckmuseum.com/ https://linktr.ee/heathfall
