That was really a short life for a ship. Sad story that is. Lake Superior is beautiful but dangerous I understand.
Hi Jenn,
I looked at the photo of the Edmund Fitzgerald on your link. I never realized how big it was. Every time I hear the song by Gordon Lightfoot, it makes me feel like crying. Very sad story.
