Forty years ago, on Nov. 10, 1975, the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank during a ferocious storm on Lake Superior, killing all 29 men aboard.
"When the witch angrily stirs her cauldron, no ship, no matter how large, is safe on the Great Lakes," according to a 1998 article in Weatherwise magazine by meteorologist Steve Horstmeyer and geographer Mace Bentley. The Edmund Fitzgerald remains the largest of all the ships wrecked or sunk by bad weather in the Great Lakes.
Incredibly, in the past 300 years, about 30,000 people have died in 10,000 shipwrecks on the Great Lakes, the Rev. William Fleming told the Detroit News.

As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most.

With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty

It is dreary and gloomy and not what I would call Rock Music, but it's still a great folk song.
