Man, I almost started to cry. This song always gives me the chills. I always know it's the anniversery of the wreck when I hear this song on the radio a few times. RIP to all 29 men.

Was up to whitefish point-lake Superior over the summer, and it was amazing! On the beach was a small makeshift memorial to a few guys with pictures, who lost their lives that night. What a powerful feeling that lake gives off.

Only 29 people died ... ( 1 week ago by wallocker24)
Only 29 people died because there were 29 people on board. Everyone died when it went down. This song is stupid? This song is a tribute to the ship and her crew. Yes it is sad that it sank but have you ever been on Lake Superior in the fall / winter months? The lake gets worse than ocean type storms. And I believe you need to show just a little more respect when making comments. People in here are relatives to the victims on the Fitz

A good friend of mine remembers seeing the Fitz sail the Great Lakes many years ago. He was shocked when he heard she sank on Superior. God Bless the crew. Captain McSorley, may you sail your crew in smooth waters for eternity
uh okay sorry but ... ( 1 week ago by xxjunior419xx)
uh okay sorry but the ship looked pretty big and for there to be only 29 ppl on it i thought was really weird. and yes i think that the genre of the song is stupid i mean its meaningful okay. No i havent been to lake superior why would i go and what does it have to do with anything that it gets worse in ocean type storms i never said anything thats not respectful except for the song and i meant hows it that sad it makes you cry and okay im sure there are now that im done good bye
Good job on the ... ( 1 week ago by johngaltmichigan2008)
Good job on the editing. Did you put the video footage together? Or was most of it from the original video?
29 ppl is quite a lot for a canoe like the Fitzgerald. It's just another piece of Michigan and Great Lakes history. For those who don't know - it was a great mystery that the boat just disappeared, completely and nobody could find it until the last few years. The genre isn't "stupid", it's Gord
on Lightfoot who does folk songs. This certainly qualified to be a folksong.
Just a masterpiece ... ( 1 week ago by RonFunlover)
Just a masterpiece of a song and will always be a favorite of mine. He's on tour again now so catch Gord in person singing this classic. I was 10 years old living in North Central Wisconsin when the ship went down and remember that cold and very windy day like it was yesterday. My 4th grade teacher at the time was Don Kalmon (Owen, Wisconsin)and his brother Alan was a cook on the Edmund. 25 foot waves on the Big Lake and dark. It had to be just a horrific few hrs.
Very well done. ( 1 week ago by BlazinNoiseBoy)
Very well done.
The mystery is not ... ( 1 week ago by mkeogh76)
The mystery is not that they couldn't find the Edmund Fitzgerald after it sank since it was quickly located the very next year. The mystery is why it sank and that debate doesn't appear it will ever end.
And 729 feet long ship is not a "canoe." At the time it was built, the Fitzgerald was the largest freighter on the Great Lakes. By the time it sank, much bigger ships had appeared on the lakes, but the Fitzgerald was still considered a very large ship.
I live in duluth, ... ( 6 days ago by LNERMallard)
I live in duluth, and I've only seen a small portion of what Lake Superior can do. I've seen a few sailboats get tossed around, and I have seen big waves (one time, we were crazy enough to go swimming in 10 foot waves.)
Wow, that's all I ... ( 5 days ago by melissamajors)
Wow, that's all I can say is WOW!
This is the best tribute to the Fitz and her crew that I have ever seen and I've seen many. I remember the wreck day well even though I was just 10 at the time. What a sad day...it's a horrific memory for me and this gold song by Gordon will insure that people never forget. I would love to k
now how the family of the crew are doing now. Hugs to them...we will never forget. Melissa
Crazy enough? Heck ... ( 4 days ago by 321radmann)
Crazy enough? Heck those were just little laps ;) I know the lakes can get pretty rough. Reguardless of the time of year, a squall is nasty on them. Dad and I got caught about 5 miles out on Huron when a waterspout hit. We were heading for the St. Claire River as the weather was deteriorating quick. I just remember waves coming over the bow of his 30ft cruiser, and the spray shooting up 10 to 20 in the air, and that was a little squall in July.

Went up to whitefish point a few months ago ...I was in awe!! I actually had goosebumps. When I stepped on the beach and walked to lake Superior, I felt an instant attraction. I can't explain it, but ever since then, she has been calling me back. This song has been literally stuck in my head for 3 months, everyday! We live in lower MI. and are now looking to move closer to the U.P just so we can go more often. I wish I were walking that cold beautiful beach right now.

Oh Wow, I'm so glad to find this song. Great video, too! I never saw that news clip!
All my life I've lived along the Lakes. and am deeply attached to my local Erie. I've heard that many if not most of the shipwrecks around here are dissapeared. I swear I was connected to sailing in a past life. A woman Pirate? Who knows. But I feel a force so powerful coming from the open water

Hats off to the men and women that have met their fates in the cold of the "Ice water Mansion" Most of us sitting at our computers could not even imagine a life lived, let alone lost, at sea.
