The swimmers aim to symbolically complete the Edmund Fitzgerald’s final journey as a tribute to the 29 crew members who perished. The journey will take a month – 17 teams of 4 relay swimmers will swim 411 miles to deliver iron ore pellets to Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. The pellets are from the same dock in Superior, Wisconsin, where the ship was loaded for the last time.
