They should have known it was going to happen the second they named the ship. It's like they didn't even listen to all the words of the song!

At 7 PM the main hatchway gave in..
Such a chilling song.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

The line that gets me every time: "The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald"

the Arthur Anderson was monitoring the Fitz, because her radar was damaged, and told us on the radio, that the Fitz was there one minute and gone the next. When the Woodrush made ready to respond from Duluth, we already knew it would be a miracle to find any survivors. I certainly felt more fragile getting underway on Lake Superior after that. RIP

The line that gets me every time: "The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald" Years ago I saw a documentary about the Fitz, in which the ship’s bell was recovered and rung once as each crewman was named at a ceremony. It left tears running down my face.

He gave it up after that.

Knockoff political posting in Community Hall. Not the place for it.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
