Tonight the beacon was lit at Split Rock Lighthouse as remembrance of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and loss of the entire crew of 29 men during a storm on November 10, 1975 on Lake Superior. The freighter passed by this lighthouse the afternoon earlier, but it sank before reaching Whitefish Bay.
