on this day in history | the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald (10 November 1975).
“The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin. As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most, With a crew and good captain well seasoned. Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms When they left fully loaded for Cleveland, And later that night when the ship’s bell rang Could it be the north wind they’d been feeling?” (x)
