The Gales of November commemorates the 50th anniversary of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald's sinking on November 10, 1975, during a ferocious "storm of the century" on Lake Superior that hurled 100 mph winds and 50-foot waves, claiming all 29 crew members and shrouding the tragedy in mystery for decades.​
Bacon draws on over 100 interviews with families, friends, and former crewmates to illuminate the Great Lakes shipping industry's economic dominance post-WWII, the sailors' demanding lives, and potential causes like structural issues or extreme weather, without endorsing a single theory amid the human toll.
