I looked but I didn't see another thread about this.

Today is the anniversary of the sinking into a stormy Lake Superior of the Edmund Fitzgerald -- November 10, 1975.

I was born between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, grew up in Milwaukee on the southern shore of Lake Michigan.

The Lakes are every bit as treacherous as deep sea sailing, in some ways more treacherous.

Tribute

This is the first time i see that you tube video Bat. Thanks for posting it. 37 years already. It is as if it just happened a few years ago.

No to take away from thtragedyty, but kendall is right. Truly a great song. As are many of Gordon's trilogy numbers.

Another ship lost at sea. That was a great video, great song. I think not Stan, but Gordon Lightfoot, though.
