You might enjoy “The mighty Fitz” by Edmund Fitzgerald, I didn’t grow up near the lakes and don’t know much about them but really enjoyed the book!

I don’t think it’s by Edmund Fitzgerald I believe that’s the ship the book is about.

It's an autobiography.

It's not a car, it would be a shipbiography.

This is objectively hilarious and I'm sad no one else has noticed it yet.

I think it's a song, actually.

The ship is the Edmund Fitzgerald, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is a song about the ship by Gordon Lightfoot. "The Mighty Fitz" is a book about the loss of the ship, Edmund Fitzgerald.

I'm pretty sure the singer is Edmund Fitzgerald, about a ship name Gordon Lightfoot, and the Mighty Fitz is an album by Fitz and the Tantrums... jk

Very haunting song, and history though.

As a clevelander, I’m a fan of that story and that beer! Shame so many lost their lives but that story is what started my interest in shipwrecks and the Great Lakes. To anyone unfamiliar they are right!

I found it pretty hard to follow. Kinda falls apart somewhere around the middle.
