Nov 10, 1975. We all remember what happened on that day. If you need a refresher, go to this website. So tomorrow, on the 30 year anniversary of that tragic day, lift a frosty one in remembrance of those 29 courageous men.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy.
With a load of iron ore - 26,000 tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early
The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconson
As the big freighters go it was bigger than most
With a crew and the Captain well seasoned.
God Gordon Lightfoot is cool.
