Thanks for this gem of a ship
BOOM!
"Oh"
"numerous inaccessible areas that glitch when no clipped into" thats because they are physics flooded
"every cargo hold is powered by electric doors that cannot be toggled." thats for the sinking feature
C.M.: "Anderson, this is the Fitzgerald. I have sustained some topside damage. I have a fence rail laid down, two vents lost or damaged, and a list. I'm checking down. Will you stay by me til I get to Whitefish?"
C.C.: "Charlie on that Fitzgerald. Do you have your pumps going?"
C.M.: "Yes, both of them"
Between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. - Radio transmission between the salt water vessel Avafors and the Fitzgerald:
Avafors: "Fitzgerald, this is the Avafors. I have the Whitefish light now but still am receiving no beacon. Over."
Avafors: "The wind is really howling down here. What are the conditions where you are?"
Fitzgerald: (Indiscernable shouts heard by the Avafors.) "DON'T LET NOBODY ON DECK!"
Avafors: "What's that, Fitzgerald? Unclear. Over."
Fitzgerald: "I have a bad list, lost both radars. And am taking heavy seas over the deck. One of the worst seas I've ever been in."
Avafors: "If I'm correct, you have two radars."
Fitzgerald: "They're both gone."
7:10 p.m - Radio transmission between the Anderson and the Fitzgerald. The Fitzgerald is still being followed by the Arthur M. Anderson. They are about 10 miles behind the Fitzgerald.
Anderson: " Fitzgerald, how are you making out with your problem?"
Fitzgerald: " We are holding our own."
Anderson: "Okay, fine. I'll be talking to you later."
They did not speak again. Sometime between 7:20 and 7:30 the Edmund Fitzgerald vanished and sank. All 29 men on board were lost.
