She is, YT has several videos of her pulling in to Duluth, MN

Thanks for mentioning the Gordon Lightfoot song. It was that song that first interested me in the Fitzgerald.

Gordon is to be praised. Not only for the song itself, but for its historical facts, and for Gordon’s sensitivity to and for the families and loved ones of those lost 29 men.

He brought familiarities to the wreck that people might not know about and awareness

Yes indeed. I still get a chill down my back every time I hear that song.

@Dave Smith You are quite welcome!

The best part is it's all fresh water.Take care from Canada 😊❤

@@jayhopkins6990 thankyou so much.

KZfaq would probably get him for a copyright strike if he had. KZfaq censors and strikes everything nowadays...including 10 seconds of a song. It's a real shame and totally ridiculous. Smh

I agree! I’ve seen several videos about the wreck and I think this is tops. I’m surprised he didn’t mention the Gordon Lightfoot song.

@@lisamartin3928 I think Gordon Lightfoot dies just after this video was released. Had it been the other way around I bet Tim would have mentioned it.

I guess I didn't get into boating much because there's not really a lot of water here unless you go to the sea and that was an hour or so from my house by car. When I was in early 20s, a friend and I did decide that we'd sail an inflatable raft down the Santa Ana River. We had walked in the middle of the river many times but, not only was there a small amount of quicksand sometimes, but we had to carry all our beer in our backpacks and walk, so we thought it would be more fun to float down the river instead. So we bought an inflatable raft and schlepped it on foot all the way from our apartment to the river. Everything seemed to be going well until we actually tried to get in it. It turns out that less than a foot of water is not enough water to float two people in a raft so that our asses sent that part of the raft to the bottom. At least we did find that we could put our backpacks full of beer in the boat so that all we had to do was walk. So it was probably good that I didn't get into sailing because, not only do I obviously suck at it, but it turns out that I get seasick as well. lol I do like to see pictures and videos of being at sea in the middle of the ocean but I think I can settle for that as a proxy adventure at sea.

Haha don't we all

I'm really sorry about your friend. Someone else posted who had gone to school with Karl Peckol...I believe that it was supposed to have been his last trip, as he'd been working to save money to go to school. They were so young.

What ? There's tons of videos of the Fitz, the Lakes and even the great storm of 1913. I live jn a small city in the southwest of England and I've known about the Lakes and its weather for years

@@confusedbadger6275 Then I applaud you sir or madam. You are either very well educated, or a person who is interested in knowledge on the seas, nautical history , or ships. Or perhaps you come from a family who made their living on the water. Sadly if you come to to North America and poll random people about great lakes shipping disasters, they will likely look at you with dumbfounded expressions. A very scary proportion of our citizens, even teens and those walking around College Campuses in the United States who just graduated high school and you would think would know, couldn't list the past 10 US Presidents or for many not even 5 in chronological order. A disappointing portion couldn't accurately tell you how many states there are in the Union, or list the Provinces and Capitals of Canada. Large chunks of the citizens of Canada and the USA will argue with you that they are and always have been "Democracies", and you don't know what you are talking about when you educate them that the USA was founded as, and on paper still is a Constitutional Republic of Sovereign States to form a governmental alliance to raise a Continental Military and a Neutral Capitol for the states to send representatives to to fund that military and to maintain relations between the Union. When you explain that Canada like England is still a Commonwealth of the United Kingdom with a Parliamentary Monarchy and His/Her Majesty of England and the UK as their head of State. A lot of Canadians especially younger ones will tell you they decide who their Prime .Inkster is by voting for him, and don't realize he is appointed by the majority government, and the Governor General,nor do they know the Governor General is the Representative of the British Monarchy. They will adamantly argue with you that Canada "got rid of the monarchy and English rule" a long time ago and they just had "God Save the Queen" on their money because of Tradition. I've seen a lot of videos on KZfaq of people who ask what were once considered questions any grade schooler should have memorized by heart, that suggest the same loss of knowledge and analytical thinking is Happening over in the Isles, as on this side of the pond. Especially about your national history and system of government as it is here. Generally speaking, many have become less intelligent, less educated, and less connected because of these little computers we all carry around in out pockets. Face to face interactions are less preferable for many than a phone call, and a phone call less preferable to a text or instant message. Why exercise your brain, and try to remember anything when the things you do remember are frequently challenged as wrong, inaccurate, or different than what can be rapidly looked up by saying hey Siri or ok google, and what is the accepted narrative on "insert subject here". We are becoming less connected by the day. I was merely trying to convey to Tim it was very refreshing to have a documentary that more or less approaches a subject from a present the facts without a bunch of opinions and political spin. Then encouraging people to think for themselves and do their own research. It's refreshing to see, and we need a whole lot more of it before we wake up as a species of Automatons one day and there is no one left to even wonder "What Went Wrong".

Ohhh that's a great one! I've read several books on the subject. Thanks!

Excellent idea! Thank you! And thanks for watching

As a survivor of the Wahine disaster, so would I.

I watched one documentary that said the crew that dived down there did see one body at the side of the ship they couldn't tell which man it was but that he wore blue coveralls

One video I saw said that the men on the bridge would have been pushed farther back into the ship as water rushed in (a door to the bridge was found open, and they may have been trying to get out as she sank). I'm guessing that the rest of the crew were in their quarters, as they'd been told to stay off of the deck. So they'd be somewhere in the stern section. And apparently on one of the dives they did see a few bodies, but they never released any footage.

She sure it! Thanks so much

​@@Historsea AND, the Anderson's captain gave a Master Salute for the Fitzgerald in November 2020, for the Fitz's 45th anniversary of it's sinking. If anyone's interested in seeing it just go to KZfaq's search bar and type in the video's exact title, which is: "Arthur M Anderson Master Salute to the Edmund Fitzgerald 11/10/2020"

Yes, she is, bless her, and she is my favourite freighter. I became fascinated by the Great Lakes ships just a few months ago when I was searching for info on the Arthur M. Anderson. And I've been watching them come and go in Duluth ever since thanks to KZfaq. Fascinating stuff. And, yes, I am delighted that a commentator here mentioned the Wilfred Sykes. Beautiful ship. Smart captain back on November 10, 1975. He delayed his departure for two hours and took a different route.

Hey thanks! Yeah right now I'm sorta in a "write what you know" place but I'll branch out, promise :)

No I am scared of copyright infringement. A very new channel to take the risk :(

Plus the taconite pellets that she was carrying were porous and absorbed water, so they just would not have been able to pump out all of the water.

And the William Clay Ford.
