Edmund Fitzgerald.

Today is the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.  36 years ago, the giant ore freighter went down during a storm on Lake Superior.  29 crewmen died.  There were no survivors.

In Michigan, we remember this event as the greatest maritime tragedy of the Great Lakes.  But, the rest of the world doesn’t even remember that it happened.

Tonight, we will ring the bells 29 times.
