Superior they said never gives up her dead when the skies in November turn gloomy.

I've been out on the ocean in a lobster boat during some really choppy weather. It's no fun. We were out there for about a 5 day lobster taking trip and the owner gets on the horn to us saying a gale is coming our way and to get in as much work as we could. So, we worked about 22 hours straight, and the only reason they pulled us in was because they said I almost went over the side. I don't remember much of the last 2-3 hours.

So, then the gale turned off and we were able to stay out, but the seas got up around 8-10 feet and those traps were flying all over the deck.

Here is a link to a music video of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald". It has excellent videos of the history of the ship and, if your into folk/CW music, Gordon Lightfoot's is fantastic. And yes H Gilmer, it contains the quote about Superior's ghosts.

I guess I should have credited him with the line, but we're all friends here and I knew most would know he had sung that. Sorry about that.

That is an awesome song. Love the verse where it says 'Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours'.

He is a lyrical genius exemplified also in If You Can Read My Mind.


EDIT: Thanks for the story dazoline II. Sounds like the man left a lasting mark on you concerning his job.
