Look again. That's clearly from the Edward Fitzsimmons.

Paddle to the Sea was probably the smallest...
I totally agree!!! One of my kids’ favorite books (mine too!) and one that constantly came to mind while reading this thread!!!

Thanks, leilani! The Fitzgerald was a bit before my time as a maritime lawyer, but I do remember walking along the Duluth Canal in 1993, watching the Laker traffic. I was admiring an inbound boat as it approached the Aerial Lift bridge, then noticed the name - Arthur M Anderson. Chills ran down my spine as recognition set in...

Had to look up
Arthur Anderson in wiki. That definitely would be one of those spine-tingling moments.Did they ever make a movie of this? If not, I wonder why since it was so famous.

Heh, I didn’t mean to be so cryptic, thought the Anderson had been mentioned upthread.
No movie that I know of - Bogart wasn’t available, and Affleck hadn’t been born yet. ;>)

Scientists “discovery” of rogue waves was delayed probably a century or so because they wouldn’t believe all the stories from seaman.
I was taught about rogue waves in the mid 60’s by experienced seaman at a maritime academy.

I’m from the LP originally, always wanted to go through that part of the US, say from Sault St. Marie to Duluth, across to Green Bay. I wasn’t aware of the welfare/enviro freakland aspect of things. Didn’t think the shiftless class liked cold weather.
I’d like to move up that way, but I hear more and more comments here on FR like yours, or news stories like the WI senate passing a socialized medicine measure recently.

“The Whitefish radio beacon was out. The Fitzgerald might’ve been helped by radio equipment aboard an ocean ship that was in port at Whitewater. But that ship’s captain scoffed at the storm. He said, “This is just a lake,” and he sailed off.”
Just damn!

Canadian Railroad Trilogy is another great one about the opening up of the continent to the railway..... One of my favorites.
