: : Sorry this Fitz thing is just so out of proportion. I do generally like the show though. It just seems like all that is ever talked about is the Fitz. With acknowledgement to the Fitz tragedy. I would love to see something on some of the other wrecks around the great lakes. It just seems that we all keep going to that well.
: I agree with Steve. Divers outside of the Great Lakes Basin probably think the Fitz is the only wreck sitting on the bottom of the Great Lakes. I guess it is the one with the most commercial appeal.
: Do you think maybe the appeal of the Fitz could be directly related to the age of the wreck , the age of many divers and divers yet to be and how well the memories are of that event. I would even think the improvements made in scuba and the number of divers has something to do with this intrigue.
Perhaps the only way the Fitz can lose some of its fame would be to another ship , and a future disaster . I can't imagine any one wishing for that.
If we really wan't to complain about to much publicity and commercialism , why not start with Elvis . Marylyn Monroe , Princees Di , and so on and so on .
