The Wreak of the Edmond Fitzgerald

I am from Duluth MN part of the twin ports where the Fitz started from and was a kid when this happened. My brother works on the docks that loaded the Fitz but he was not there at that time. My sister (if I remember this right) was friends with a crew member who stayed back because of his wisdom teeth. As kids we used to go down to the canal and watch these huge ships leave I have always loved the song I still have the vinyl album.
 
Growing up in MI from 1963-1982 the story of this tragedy was required reading in school. Being from the LP of the state it was always a treat to go up to the locks in Sault St. Marie and watch the big ships like the Edmond Fitzgerald go through. Hopefully one day I can return home to live out the rest of my life, but if not VA isn't that bad.
 

I wasn't going to comment on this but since Mitch got picky, I will too. The Fitzgerald went down in 1975, not 1976.
