On June 7, 1958, more than 15,000 people came to watch the launch of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald in River Rouge, Michigan.
But the event didn't go quite as planned.
Elizabeth Fitzgerald, wife of the new ship's namesake, christened the new freighter and needed three tries to break the champagne bottle. One spectator suffered a fatal heart attack. Workers struggled to free the keel blocks. And when the freighter finally hit the water, it sent a massive wave drenching the crowd.
