Edmund Fitzgerald

It was 30 years ago today the huge ore ship went down in a gale on Lake Superior. I was just a teen-aged kid living in Oregon then and to me The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was just a top 40 song on the radio. For some reason, at the time, I thought it was about something that happened years before.

Thinking about the families of the 29 men who went down with the ship. There were no survivors.

Here are a couple of links to good information about "the good ship and true".
And here's an award-winning audio documentary produced 10 years ago on the 20th anniversary of the disaster.
