The Great Lakes
These pics and text sent from Don Baryenbruch. I had to share them with you because many don’t know the ravage the Great Lakes can incur. We sailed over the Fitzgerald in ’96; it went down in November of ’75 off of Whitefish Point on Lake Superior, taking 29 crew members to their icy graves–never to be recovered. The Edmund was 726′ long:
“Lake Superior (Gitche Gumee) in November…
Ever wonder why the Edmund Fitzgerald didn’t make it..? A little taste of the seafaring life on the Inland Seas … These photographs were taken in November 2006 aboard Misener Steamships MV Selkirk Settler as she crossed Lake Superior in typical November weather. The first pic is in calm water.”
Here’s a link to the Edmond Fitzgerald and its fate: http://www.boatnerd.com/fitz/
