He’s pretty well know here in Michigan because of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the anchor is on Belle Isle at Dossin Great Lakes Ship Museum and Detroit is home to the Mariners Church on the Detroit River

“In a musty old hall in Detroit, they prayed in the Maritime Sailors’ Cathedral. The church bell chimed 'til it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

It was also built on the Detroit River.

80 years old here.
