Absolutely one of the most haunting songs ever. Gordon is one of the greatest troubadours of modern times. Have listen to his music since 1972 and have seen him live in Amsterdam. All people who like his music are in general, nice people. Worldwide.

I watched a documentary on the Edmond Fitz. Apparently the ship was so long (over 800') that the breaking waves caused the ship to actually "bottom out" causing the Edmund Fitzgerald to 'split' in two, but not completely. Eerie to think about that moment. I could only hope to have even a speck of courage of just ONE of those men. God Bless all the families. Your memory will never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace.

It was the year 1992, I've been in La Crosse (WI) when I've heard this song for the first time.
As I'am from Germany, I didn't understand the meaning of this song. My roommate Brain from Chicago told me the whole story!
He's a big Gordan Lightfoot fan!
I'll never forget this night, we've both taken a lot of beer and we've listening to this song serval times. He told told me the whole sad story. A few days later I've been in a car, close to the Lake Erie! Listening this song! Thanks Brian!
