Each year, in honour of the Edmund Fitgerald crew, a bell is rung 29 times during ' Last Watch Ceremony.' The 30th ring is for all mariners lost on the Great Lakes.

Bishop Richard W. Ingalls, a longtime minister at Mariners' Church of Detroit


On Nov. 10, 1975, the 729-foot iron ore carrier Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a storm. The next morning, Ingalls rang the church bell 29 times, once for each victim. His action was memorialized in Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot's song, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."


Ingalls also created an annual memorial service for the victims, with the ringing of the bell.
