RIP Gordon
Cmon man, no Wisconsin or Minnesota? The thing left Superior. We remember.
Which is not actually superior to Duluth in any way, really.
Ooo… too soon?
The winds of November, only just came calling
Also, I dare say, all of Canada.
If not from pop culture, we also had to study it in English class.
What?! All my English classes were Shakespeare and some book the teacher likes. I wish we studied Gordon Lightfoot… ;_;
I worked on one of these ships, honestly Lake Michigan was the scariest one to be on at times
There’s a memorial today in Duluth
Superior is the farthest Great Lake from Ohio. What are you on about?
The ship was bound for Cleveland
That’s a Gordon Lightfoot myth. It was bound for Zug Island at the junction of the Detroit River and Rouge River in Detroit.
Darn, Wikipedia confirms this. It did travel to different ports including ports in Cleveland throughout its time though I guess. It was also owned by a company out of Cleveland.
You’d think it that it happened in the eighteenth century or something, the way it’s sung, but nope, not even fifty years ago.
Yeah, I always thought it happened in the 10s-30s, then caught something on YouTube about it and oh no, it was in the 70s.
Every year i drink a Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald while i listen to the Gordon Lightfoot song on the anniyof the sinking of the ship
