Remembering the Edmund Fitzgerald: Lessons from a Legacy of Loss

On November 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior during a fierce storm, taking all 29 crew members with her. The tragedy remains the last major Great Lakes freighter lost with all hands and has become a touchstone in maritime history. Each anniversary brings renewed reflection not only on the Fitzgerald itself but also on other modern shipwrecks that remind us of the sea’s enduring dangers.

I tend to be laid back most of the time. The turmoil in my past no longer affects my soul, but you can find much of it in my poetry, on other sites. I try to find the good in the world, and to provide good answers when I can.

That is obviously not my picture, but I identify with the guy. I'm a cynical cuss, and I tend to see the worst in a situation, and call it out. I am anti-religion, anti-big business, anti-big government, anti-hate, anti-bigotry, and I would be anti-anger if I wasn't always so angry.
