Edmund Fitzgerald
On the way back to Kenton this evening, I popped in my Gordon Lightfoot Greatest Hits, and came accross The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's a great song, but I get the feeling (I can't speak for everyone, but for me) that the song may be better known than the event itself.
There is however, an excellent site about the tragedy, one that is well worth reading. Check it out here.
What is interesting is how many of the victims were from Ohio. There was one member of the crew who graduated from North Olmsted High School (My high school).
And all that remains are the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
