Harold I visited a museum on Lake Superior dedicated to shipwrecks that told all about the Edmund Fitzgerald and played this song on a continuous loop…I always loved the song…Ir has such a haunting melody as well as lyrics. We did this on a road trip to Minneapolis for a wedding in 2021….
Great! Reading your article sent me on a research mission of the tragic sinking of the Fitzgerald. I am a fan of the series, "Sea Disasters." I have been fascinated by sea disasters since the day I learned about the Titanic. So, today, I am an enthusiast of the history, and its people. I don't recall a song about it, but it did get a host of movies. Thanks for the fun entry, Jim.
Same with me regarding the Titanic. My grandmother was personally connected to the Titanic story. You sound like me. Certain songs, movies, and history calls me back to my roots. It is probably why I am such a history buff. Lol.
One of my favorite songs. How difficult to turn a narrative of facts into a finely crafted song lyric. A line which stays with me is: "Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?" Another is: "Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
