The Edmund Fitzgerald

Inside The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald returns to Harmony House in Hunter River this fall with performances running Wednesdays to Saturdays at 8 pm, from September 10 to October 11.

Fifty years ago this November, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the icy waters of Lake Superior, taking all 29 crew members with her. This tragic shipwreck was immortalized in song by the great Canadian songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. 

In this Harmony House world premiere, Mike Ross and a band of Island musicians and storytellers bring the story of this ill-fated ship to life. Through Lightfoot’s legendary music, Inside The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald will take the audience on a journey from the ship’s maiden voyage to its final, fateful day. 

Created by the writing team behind Inside American Pie and The 27 Club, this signature Harmony House production features Shane Pendergast, Brielle Ansems, Cameron MacDuffee, Alicia Toner, Greg Gale, and Mike Ross. Research and writing are by Sarah Wilson and Mike Ross, with musical arrangements and direction by Mike Ross.
