The Edmund Fitzgerald was a Cargo Ship Lost on November, 10, 1975, in a storm on Lake Superior. 29 souls lost their lives...this was dedicated to them.
Very Nice! My great-great-great-great-great uncle was an oiler in her engine room, and he was going to retire after that voyage. Sadly, he never made it home to his family. In addition, my US History & Government teacher's uncle was a crewmember of the Arthur M. Anderson, the ship that had the last radio contact with the Fitz. My teacher also spent several summers working on the Burlington Northern ore dock in Superior, Wisconsin, loading ore boats. Several times he loaded the Anderson.
The Edmund Fitzgerald reminds me of my father because he introduced me to the song by Gordon Lightfoot quite a few years ago... i'm listening to it now.

Beautiful picture
Being from the Great Lake's region, it means I've heard about this wreck, and have read up about. 7th grade I did a book report on it.
