Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Swim

Sat July 26 - Wed August 27, 2025 Paradise, MI 49768 US

Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Swim

Donation Goal: $170,000

Swimmers will raise funds for the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS) to preserve the Whitefish Point Lighthouse, a most important beacon for all vessels entering or leaving Lake Superior since 1849, and the oldest operating lighthouse on the lake.  In a most unfortunate irony, the lighthouse went dark due to a power outage and was no help to the Edmund Fitzgerald the night she lost her radar and ultimately lost her battle to the raging storm.  

Maintaining the Whitefish Point Lighthouse helps safeguard mariners along Lake Superior's "Shipwreck Coast."
