The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald edited by Joseph Fulton

Joseph Fulton put together this amazing tribute to the 29 men who died November 10, 1975 aboard the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior set to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. This video is one of the best I've ever seen on YouTube and I hope you can watch it.

    I have become enthralled by the Fitzgerald in the past year and watched all these videos. It prompted me to visit Whitefish Point this month and write about the experience (http://blogs.pioneerlocal.com/religion). I had no idea it was the 50th anniversary of the launch.

    I have read about a recreation simulation created by some college university. Why isn't it posted anywhere?

    Flo and Farlane,
    Thanks for the forwards. And yes, of course I know 'Black Day in July'.
    Once again, my lyric hero delivers and I don't remember anyone else ever writing such strong words about that time, which I still remember clearly as a teen growing up in the borderline suburb, Dearborn.
    And I can tell you, things haven't changed all that much. These disenfranchised people have only been pushed further into the bowels of the the city.
    As for the Edmund, this event continues to leave an imprint on my life...I remember going down the mariner's chapel when they rang the bell 29 times. I recently had dinner with the gentleman who brought up the bell of the Edmund Fitzgerald. And my husband's cello instructor, George Sopkin who recently passed at age 94, KNEW Edmund Fitzgerald! He, according to George, never got over the sinking of a vessel named after him.
    And of course I've heard Gordon play it in concert many, many, many times. And every single time I'm amazed at how he takes the audience down with the ship with his story telling. And for those who listen, you realize what great musicians he has backing him
