There was a model of the Anderson in the marine museum in Ashtabula Ohio ...as soon as I saw it I thought of the Fitz . How the captain turned the Anderson around , in that horrific storm , to try to find the Fitz ,must be a story in itself .
-----------------------------------
Indeed it is.When USCG Group Soo asked if the Anderson could go back out and look for the Fitzgerald Captain Cooper was reluctant to head back into the 25-30 foot seas but,he ordered the Anderson to come about and headed back into Superior.A true hero.
A good read is Robert J. Hemming's "Gales of November: The Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald".
