The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was a 729’ Great Lakes ore freighter that sank 40 years ago today during a rough storm in Lake Superior. All 29 sailors on board perished in the incident.

Dangit, why did you remind me? Now the Gordon Lightfoot song will be stuck in my head for days... and I didn’t even listen to it.

Yeah, that song still sends shivers down my spine. Every year we camp in the north shore of superior, and there is something about that lake... She never gives up her secrets

when you see the size of the ships that have used the great lakes, I’m left wondering why they aren’t called seas.

Large patches of fresh water are Lakes. Salt water be Seas.
