The Search for Edmund Fitzgerald by Great Lakes Freighters, William Clay Ford & Arthur M. Anderson, in the November 10, 1975, Lake Superior Storm that took the Fitzgerald down.
The Artist's 1999 painting of the search for the Edmund Fitzgerald by the Anderson and Ford is based on a personal description of that night by the late Capt. Donald E. Erickson of the Ford.  Sampson met with Erickson in the actual pilot house of the Ford on March 15, 1999, at the Dossin Maritime Museum, Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan; videotaping the interview.  Erickson explained that the Ford followed the Anderson back into Lake Superior after Erickson and the Anderson’s Capt. Bernie Cooper agreed to search together.  The two freighters fought the seas overnight, sailing one-half to one mile apart from each other while Coast Guard aircraft dropped flares.  The original acrylic painting was completed in September 1999.  In Spring, 2000, Sampson met with Erickson in Toledo, Ohio, to get his final approval of the image before driving to Dayton for lithograph printing of the image.
