: : Hi, we're coming up on the 25th anniversary of the sinking of the Fitzgerald, I just wanted to begin an online memorial of sorts.
: : Wanted to say that as November approaches in Minneapolis, under grey skies and cold winds blowing, that we don't and won't forget the 29 brave sailors and Captain aboard the Edmund Fitzgerald November 10, 1975. In God's good grace he swept them into his arms to be with Him, after a night of fear and wondering.
: : The memory has not faded, the ode still saddens, and I pray for the families and friends of all those who were affected by the loss.
: Well said!!!!!!! Tim
I live in Ohio, and it seems that if you're not on the coast, then people don't know about great lakes shipwrecks. I am a former resident of Rogers City, MI and there are many dates that I hold dear, along with the sinking of the Fitz. We all know that most of them were in November. I am glad that there are others out there acknowledging the date of the Fitz sinking, and god bless.
