Edmund Fitzgerald is a boat accessible fresh water dive site, located in ON, Canada. The maximum depth is over 150ft/46m.

The sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the loss of her 29-member crew during a violent fall storm on November 10, 1975, just northwest of Whitefish Point in southeast Lake Superior was at the time the worst maritime disaster on the Great Lakes in nine years. Of the more than 1000 ships that have found their graves under the icy waters of the Great Lakes, the Fitzgerald is still the largest ever to go down. Just like the Titanic, the demise of this seemingly invincible vessel has attracted widespread attention and inspired songwriters and authors to tell her story.

This is not a dive site. The Canadian government declared it a grave site. You have to get a permit to do anything in the area. Also the depth is 530 ft.
