Date 11-16-05 Emotions did run high November 11, 2005 at noon when a group of Fitzgerald buffs boarded the Great Lakes mailboat J.W. Westcott in the Detroit River to make a ceremonial presentation. They delivered some iron-ore pellets -- said to be part of the original Fitzgerald cargo -- to Zug Island, where the ill-fated ship was bound that November night. The ore, from
Lake Superior's pellet-strewn floor, was found embedded on the muddy
runners of a Coast Guard submersible after it took underwater photos
of the shipwreck during an investigation in early 1976, says Capt. Erickson,
the skipper who searched for survivors.
