Events by Month

The annual Lost Mariners Remembrance returns to an in-person format for our 22nd consecutive year of honoring mariners lost on the Great Lakes. On the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a lantern vigil at the Fitzgerald anchor will begin the night, followed by the live Honor Guard escort of a memorial wreath to the Detroit River for receipt by an Honor Flotilla of Great Lakes vessels. A performance by Lee Murdock, Great Lakes balladeer, will follow the wreath ceremony.

To commemorate the anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, The Livonia Amateur Radio Club (LARC) will operate a Special Event “Ham” radio Station, W8F, at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Saturday, November 13, from 11 AM to 3:30PM EST.

Club members will contact other amateur radio operators around the country and the world and tell them the Fitz’s story. Those with whom we converse can request a special confirmation certificate.

Join us for a session on [hi]storytelling about Wahnabezee and the river park question!
