In this episode, the skipper and Gilligan navigate the choppy waters surrounding the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the rebirth of its memory as a #1 hit by Gordon Lightfoot in 1975. Bound for Detroit, they circumnavigate the dangerous currents associated with taking on historical events in song and film. They seem to be heading toward a safe port with the common Great Lakes experience shared by the US and Canada...until Ty steers the SS Unity dangerously close to Niagara Falls. Batten down the hatches...that's the wrath of the north wind you're feeling.
