I was right about driving age then, but I do not remember hearing about the incident. I was probably running the roads , chasing women , working, and rockin' and a Rollin' then. Wasn't much into the happenings of the world around that time.
 
That boat was mostly built, crewed, and docked, within 50 miles, of where I've spent my time here, between Detroit and Toledo...

This date, has always been a mark on the day to day around here.

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - song still gives me chills the same as when I first heard it 40 years ago.

R.I.P. fellas.
 
That photo makes it look like the boats hull was already slightly warped.. back in my navy days that song would always play in my head every time we sailed through rough weather. ..
