Join us for a special documentary premier  
 A Good Ship and Crew Well Seasoned: The Fitzgerald and Her Legacy

2:00 PM
H.O. Hirt Auditorium

Immediately following the film join us for: "Tales from the Cutting Room Floor" plus Q&A with Chris Gillcrist, Executive Director, National Museum of the Great Lakes.

 

A Good Ship and Crew Well Seasoned: The Fitzgerald and Her Legacy
is a documentary film produced by the National  
Museum of the Great Lakes and Allied Media Group, Inc. The film explores the less documented and overlooked history of the Fitzgerald and her crew before their tragic loss through unpublished manuscript material and photographs while at the same time reflecting on the impact of their loss on family, friends and colleagues in the maritime community. The film takes a refreshing look at asking important historical questions not asked, until now.
