The Gordon Lightfoot song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" chronicles the sinking of a ship on what body of water in 1975?

The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was launched on June 7, 1958, and was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes at the time. The boat got caught in a storm on November 10, 1975, and shortly after 3:30 p.m on that day, the captain of the ship radioed that it was taking on water. The last communication from the ship came at just after 7:10 p.m.
