The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

[Rogue Hawk]

A group of divers went down to her and caught some good film footage. They also when down to another wreck from the 1920's and actually found a sailor uncased in ice. Superior never gives up her dead.

Brings back some memories. I knew the Captain, he was one of my customers for leathercraft supplies when he visited the port of Duluth.

In the documentary they mention he never lost his cool in the radio broadcasts. He was calm and in command.

If it gets too cold for you up there, you are welcome to come on down and visit the Bermuda Triangle for some warm weather fun.

Cold lakes don't like to give up their dead. A plane with a pilot and one passenger crashed into Payette Lake at McCall, ID over 40 years ago. The plane with the passenger still in it were recovered. The pilot's body is still down there somewhere. And there was the 100 year old woman's body that floated to the surface of Lake Tahoe several years ago.

I remember hearing about it when I was much younger, still in college. Hard to understand the enormity of the loss at that age.

45 years since the "Fitzgerald" sunk. Time just races by.

I discovered Gordon Lightfoot in about 1969 - 70. I have been a fan ever since.

This in not one of my favorite Lightfoot songs, but it is haunting:
