John U. Bacon on THE GALES OF NOVEMBER

The Gales of November by John U. Bacon tells the harrowing true story of the "Mighty Fitz," a 729-foot-long ship that perished in November 1975, and the lasting impact of the tragic maritime disaster. John joins us to talk about his research, the history of the Great Lakes, Gordon Lightfoot, and more with cohost Christine Ruhe.

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Christine Ruhe and mixed by Harry Liang.
