There are a few books written on the subject of actual cause of the wreck...still have proponents for different theories...any which way...that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed..(stunningly good metaphor describing the beating the ship and crew took)

Thanks shadowlands1960. I've always disliked that song (and that singer), but always get chills from "the churchbell chimed it rang 29 times for each man the Edmund Fitzgerald." It does that even when I type it.

I grew up in southeast Michigan, not far from the musty old hall in Detroit.
I remember when it happened.

The captain of the Anderson had spent 50 years sailing the Great Lakes and said that was the worst storm he’d ever seen.

A good friend lost his uncle in this disaster. Prayers up for all the families left behind. This song always brings a tear to my eye.

I hitched a ride from the U.P. down to Detroit on November 9th. We crossed the Mackinac Bridge as it was starting to get blown around by the storm about 2:00. The bridge was closed shortly after. I got to Detroit at about 9:00 that Sunday night and my dad picked me up where I had been dropped off. It was blowing and raining in Motown. I heard about the loss of the Fitz the next morning on the local radio news. I’ll never forget.

Fortunately now, with satellite weather and doplar radar, a huge storm like that one is much more likely to be reported to and acted on by good captains.

I will forever be haunted by Gordon Lightfoot’s lyric:
“Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?”
