Have gone to the museum at whitefish point several times and well worth the trip. They were so close to safety and yet still so far, a very sad day indeed. Very treacherous waters on lake Superior that time of year.

The Fitz brings back some memories. The Captain used to come into my store when he was in Port at Duluth, MN. :thumbup:
