Now that Gordon Lightfoot has passed away, I wonder if the remembrance of the Edmund Fitzgerald will fade away with him.
We should be commemorating all the lives lost at sea on Lake Superior. Two of many: On November 19, 1914 the C.F. Curtis went down; it took two other ships with it. 28 lives were lost. Two kayakers lost their lives just 150 yards offshore of Artist Point in Grand Marais, MN on Sept. 21, 2002. Yet, we don't light a lighthouse up for them.
It's time to move on from the song.
@bryanhansel I would fear that moving on from the song might diminish the others as well. But yes, we should keep the history alive of all that have been lost on Lake Superior and the rest of the Great Lakes. There are important stories in all of them.
