Here is the radio request: Coast Guard (CG): “Do you think there is any possibility and you could…ah…come about and go back there and do any searching?” - Meteorologist Ryan Wichman

Just moments before the Arthur M. Anderson had been guiding the Edmund Fitzgerald through the historic storm. 

• The next the Fitzgerald was gone from sight. 

By skill and some luck the Anderson had made it through themselves to the shelter of Whitefish Bay. 

But the Coast Guard had a grim request:
Go Back Into The Storm...

The Coast Guard was busy trying to find a civilian vessel that was lost. 

Here is the radio request:

• Coast Guard (CG): “Do you think there is any possibility and you could…ah…come about and go back there and do any searching?”
• Anderson: “Ah…God, I don’t know…ah…that…that sea out there is tremendously large. Ah…if you want me to, I can...
• Anderson: “Well, I’ll go back and take a look, but God, I’m afraid I’m going to take a hell of a beating out there… I’ll turn around and give ‘er a whirl, but God, I don’t know. I’ll give it a try.”...
