Please take a moment to remember Big Fitz and the 29 brave souls that went down with her on this day 35 years ago...

For those of you that do remember...

I always loved the song, and then I read up on the real story and watched a show about it. RIP

She was a Great vessel to see go by. I was able to see her in person several times and see her on the maiden voyage. this weekend Kat and I went up to Port Huron and we saw several freighters go by the Junction Buoy restaurant . Each freighter has it's own lines and grace as they go by on the river. Ranging between 500 and 1000 feet you can't imagine that a ship as big and wide as a city block could get into trouble until you have seen the violent 30-40 foot seas the lake can produce in a matter of hours. Nothing but respect for anyone that earn a living out on the water any were. I have attended the service at Mariners Church were they ring the bell 29 times for each sailor lost and it always brings a tear to my eye.

Watched a documentary on the E.F. For some reason, the story always gives me chills. I'm not a believer in the supernatural, but the chill I get is very much like the same one I get when I spend time in Shiloh battlefield. Maybe because my mother was a Fitzgerald. Don't know. Just gives me a chill! I've spent time camping on Lake Superior's shore in the last 10 years. Easy to see the lake's raw power!

R.I.P. for the crew, and prayers for the family of the crew.

R.I.P Lake superior can have brutal weather. I got a chance a few years back to scuba dive the wreck. If you ever get a chance you should do it but its a bit creapy knowing what happened.

I shall play and sing this at Epic this weekend in memory.

Have read a couple books about the wreck. There are no clear reasons as to why this great ship went under with all hands. Speculation abounds, but nothing definitive.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
