Both Captain Cooper and Captain Erickson of the William Clay Ford (who told his experience in a webcast 2 years ago; he is still with us today)
were asked to go back out and look, both ships crisscrossed the lake until they found the area of debris. Believe they got a medal for bravery for that. The Ford is retired and is at the Dossin Great Lakes museum in Belle Isle. The Anderson is still sailing! (52 years I think!)I wonder who her captain is now.
