Edmund Fitzgerald life ring not real
read by Rachel Ruiz
WOOD-TV

That life ring from the Edmund Fitzgerald found a few weeks ago? Well, it's not.

The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum confirmed the ring is not the real thing, even though they originally believed it to be.

The ring is believed to have been stolen from a cottage in Eagle River a few years ago, and it was those cottage owners who painted the words "Edmund Fitzgerald" on it.

Joe Rasch, who with his daughters found the ring while on vacation earlier this month, said he's disappointed and he'll probably hang it in his shed.

Thanks for the update. The good news is that all eyes were on the UP for a few minutes. On a summer when we in North Carolina are looking a temperatures in the 100’s again this week, it’s nice to think back to my summers growing up in Upper Michigan when I could take a dip in a cool clear water lake anytime I wanted to.
