The body of a crewman was found near the bow of the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1994, nearly 20 years after the freighter sank. Given the frigid temperatures of Lake Superior, the body was relatively well preserved and appeared to be dressed in overalls and a life jacket. Because the wreckage is considered a grave site, the remains were left undisturbed. No other bodies have been located, though they are widely believed to be inside the ship.
