    About the event

    A historical look at the final voyage

    Last Voyage: Remembering the Edmund Fitzgerald focuses on the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and its last voyage on November 10, 1975. The format is an educational historical presentation and memorial gathering, so the central subject is the ship’s story and the sinking it is remembered for, rather than a general brewery event or a broad Great Lakes history program.

    The program’s subject is specific: the Edmund Fitzgerald as an iconic freighter, the circumstances of its final voyage, and the way the loss is commemorated. That focus is useful for deciding whether the event matches an interest in maritime history, Great Lakes regional history, or memorial observances tied to the ship.

    Program subjects and memorial elements

    The presentation covers the freighter’s construction, its service career, and its regional impact. It closes with a moment of silence and a toast honoring the 29 fallen crew members, making the memorial component part of the scheduled program rather than a separate side activity.

    Food and drink details are limited but notable: specialty Edmund Fitzgerald Porter infusions are served while supplies last. During the event, $1 from every pint sold is donated to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, connecting the beverage portion directly to the shipwreck-history theme.

    Location and admission details

    The event takes place at Great Lakes Brewing Company in Cleveland. The venue is listed at 2516 Market Ave, and the location is identified as a bar and brewpub, which helps distinguish the setting from a museum auditorium, lecture hall, or outdoor memorial site.

    Admission is free with a reservation required through Resy, and food and drinks are purchased à la carte. Seating opens before the presentation, and the program is scheduled for the evening, but the exact timing should be handled by the event details display.
