A crucial piece of evidence from the wreck site of the Edmund Fitzgerald is the discovery of the pilothouse door found unlatched and open, an anomaly suggesting crew members may have desperately attempted to exit before the ship went down. Experts view this open door as a strong indicator of how quickly the vessel sank on November 10, 1975, as sailors would never disengage the heavy steel latches during a severe storm.
