Anniversary to be marked by a service at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, Michigan.
Forward from Bob Barney: Gordon Lightfoot asked this question: "does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours…." I know God's love is still there, but, we all sometimes ponder this question…..
(Whitefish Point, MI) – 38-years-ago Wednesday, a brutal November storm roared across the Lake Superior. On November 10, 1975, the 729-foot steamer Edmund Fitzgerald was lost in that infamous storm near Whitefish Point, Michigan with her entire crew of 29 men.
The Fitzgerald’s story is extremely well known due to Canadian folksinger Gordon Lightfoot's song a year later. The cause of the ship's sinking remains a mystery to this day.
