I finished the Gales of November by John Bacon and it was excellent, details of the men and their jobs in the Edmund Fitzgerald and the shipping industry and the scariest Great Lake, Superior. Heartbreaking subject well explored in this book.

People who love being gutted by listening to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald will very possibly also like Flowers of Bermuda by Stan Rogers.
Sometimes I can listen to it, sometimes it destroys me.

A belated #EdmundFitzgerald thought:
Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian musician and national treasure, wrote The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald about actual events that took place in the US and went to great pains to portray them accurately and with integrity.
Can you think of any examples of an American artist of any genre or medium who made something about an exclusively Canadian historic event and did it well?
(I can't think of any, although they may exist, hence the question.)

A friend of mine makes a lot of dumb music (his words) but with this cover, he may have redeemed himself.

I'm not old enough to remember the sinking of the #EdmundFitzgerald, but I do remember studying it in elementary school in the late #80s and hearing this song.

Canadian confession: I had no idea that Gordon Lightfoot released The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1976.
I thought the song was much, much older. Because it sounds and feels older.
But also because it's such an integral part of my experience of the soundscape of Canada that it's hard to imagine a time when it was ever not there. 1/2

2012 Legends – The Edmund Fitzgerald
In 2012, Legends Drum and Bugle Corps form Kalamazoo, Michigan, performed a show about the Edmund Fitzgerald. While Lightfoot's hit was one of the musical selections and was the main motif throughout, Legends expanded on the music and the story with other selection.https://medi-nerd.com/2025/11/10/2012-legends-the-edmund-fitzgerald/

“In recounting the sinking of the SS #EdmundFitzgerald during a storm on Lake Superior on the night of November 10, 1975, #Lightfoot immortalized a modern tragedy at a time when its pain was still keenly felt.” www.guitarplayer.com/music/albums... #GordonLightfoot #music #MusicSky

"Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion..."Goddess, so many lines that spark shivers, tears, or both!
It's an absolute masterpiece. Just amazing. 3/3

A few examples:
"The lake it, is said, never gives up her dead"
"That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
when the gales of November came early""The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound"
"Does anyone know where the love of God goes
when the waves turn the minutes to hours?""The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
if they'd put fifteen more miles behind her." 2/3#EdmundFitzgerald #WreckOfTheEdmundFitzgerald #GordonLightfoot #music

Listening to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (and raising a glass to the lost lives) and reading along with the lyrics.
Great high holy hell, Gordon Lightfoot knocked this entire thing *out of the park!* The guitars make you feel like you're out on the waves in a lonely and ominous wind, and practically every verse has at least 2 bits of heart-stopping poetry that'd be the crown jewel of any other song. 1/3

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is a 1976 #hitSong written, composed and performed by the Canadian singer-songwriter #GordonLightfoot to memorialize the sinking of the bulk carrier SS #EdmundFitzgerald in #LakeSuperior on November 10, 1975. Lightfoot considered this song to be his finest work. Appearing originally on his 1976 album #SummertimeDream, Lightfoot re-recorded the song in 1988 for the compilation album #GordsGoldVol2.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy. -
