50 year anniversary - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Today marks a day 50 years ago in history.
I recently heard the song recorded by Gordon Lightfoot 50 years ago after loss of this ship.
I have always liked this song very much and shared it below here.
People are gathering at ceremonies around the Great Lakes this weekend to honor the memories of the 29 crew members who died a half-century ago on
Nov. 10, 1975, when the Edmund Fitzgerald — the largest freighter on the Lakes at the time — sank during a ferocious storm on Lake Superior.
Fifty years later, the loss of a ship known as the “Titanic” of the Great Lakes remains one of the most famous shipwrecks in history.
