The Edmund Fitzgerald

janissa11 posted a couple of days ago about the Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank in Lake Superior 34 years ago on November 10, taking the lives of all 29 men aboard her. We saw the Edmund Fitzgerald once at Port Huron when I was around 9, maybe a little younger. I don't remember seeing that ship specifically, though I do remember seeing ships there. Mom reminded me that we'd see her after hearing about the disaster on the news.

Here's an excellent video set to Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," very well done with footage of the ship and crew and excerpts from the Arthur M. Anderson's radio transmissions from that night (she was 10 miles behind the Edmund Fitzgerald and had been in contact with her).

(Got home later than normal last night and tonight, so was on the computer later. I'm off now, though, to read for awhile - and tomorrow: half a vacation day. Whee!)
