A fitting tribute to the 29 men who went down with the Great Lakes ore boat, the SS Edmund Fitgerald, which sank 36 years ago today in Lake Superior. I am having a hard time believing that she sank that many years ago.

Thank you for the link; I had never seen many of the photos in the video (launching, etc.). A number of the crew were from my stomping grounds.
Just as a note: It was 36 years ago, not 39 (see, you were right when you couldn’t believe it was that long ago).
Thanks again,

Thanks for pointing that out. I am just a bad enough proof reader that I can read 29 dead 36 years ago and come up with 39. Thirty six years still seems like longer than I remember, in any case.
Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing, I’m helping a very close family member get ready for a very long trip, and I wont see them for a long time!
