Wrecked: The Edmund Fitzgerald and the Sinking of the American Economy Wrecked links the story of America’s most infamous shipwreck to the story of an even larger disaster—the wreck of the American industrial economy. When the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in a Lake Superior storm on November 10, 1975, more was lost than the ship and the twenty-nine lives on board. The disaster was a human tragedy as well as an indictment of the American industrial policies that eventually cost the nation thousands of jobs and marooned hundreds of communities.

In 'Wrecked', the authors link the Edmund Fitzgerald’s sinking to America’s industrial decline, blaming neglectful policies that hurt workers and communities.
