“The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

Of the big lake they called ‘gitche gumee’

The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead

When the skies of November turn gloomy”

Gordon Lightfoot-1976



November 10th marks the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975.

I really like the song. Not too long after it came out, I was in Detroit and stopped at the Maritime Sailor's Cathedral. The cathedral has an interesting past (and, hopefully, a long future ahead of it.)

Interesting. I live in Michigan and didn't hear a word of it on the news or read it in the local paper. Probably because it wasn't an anniversary ending in zero or five.
