An Anniversary
Welcome back!
On this date in 1975, A steel freighter named the Edmond Fitzgerald was lost in Lake Superior. All twenty-nine men on board were lost. I cannot honestly say I remember it happening, but only because at the age of eleven I never bothered watching the evening news. The following year, Gordon Lightfoot released a song called “Wreck Of The Edmond Fitzgerald” which tells the story of what (probably) happened on board the ship that day.
The video below is one I found on YouTube. It is a truly awesome tribute to those twenty-nine souls.
