Every time I hear the song or read the details of the ship's voyage, I'm moved. I've been a Sailor in the world's greatest Navy for 25 years. Until you're "out there" on the sea, you really don't appreciate what Mother Nature can throw at you. God bless all those in EDMUND FITZGERALD and Gordon Lightfoot for writing such a tribute and staying engaged after his ballad became famous!

If your interested, Gordon Lightfoot wrote and sang another song about a shipwreck. It's titled "Ballad of the Yarmouth Castle", about an aging cruise ship out of Florida that catches fire at sea. Here's a link to the words.
