edmond fitzgerald
The anniversary of the shipwreck - the 30th - was on Thursday. Just out of curiosity, did anyone else think when they heard the song by (gordon lightfoot?) that it took place like 100 years ago? For some reason, I think of ship wrecks happening on a major ocean in the 1700-1800s and not on LAke Superior in 1975.

I knew about it, but I'm a Gordon Lightfoot/Canada nerd.

Re: edmond fitzgerald
I always thought it took place many years earlier too. Not sure why I never clued in that the song was about recent history when it was released.

Re: edmond fitzgerald
All my knowledge of shipwreck history comes from Seinfeld...
GEORGE: Hey. JERRY: Hey. How's the new place?! GEORGE: Gone. The tenant association made me give it to this guy because he was an Andrea Doria survivor.. ELAINE: Andrea Doria? Isn't that the one they did the song about? JERRY: (Correcting her) Edmund Fitzgerald. ELIANE: I love Edmund Fitzgerald's voice. JERRY: (Gives Elaine a look) No, Gordon Lightfoot was the singer. Edmund Fitzgerald was the ship. GEORGE: (Talking about his would-be apartment) You could fit 15 people in that bathroom.. ELAINE: I think Gordon Lightfoot was the boat. JERRY: (Sarcastic) Yeah, and it was rammed by the Cat Stevens. |

That's some crazy [censored]... waves big enough to lift up a huge-ass freighter and snap it in two.
