The Wreck of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Exceptional storytelling! That fateful night when the boat broke in half and sunk. The larger boats on the U.P. waters could more easily fall victim to the broken wave patterns that often accompanied storms on Superior. They call it the bath tub effect, where the waves have no clear pattern. Smaller boats just get tossed, but the larger boats get high centered, double dropped or hit mid ship by a second wave before coming down. Gordon does honor to the loss of this crew and its boat with this folksy ballad.
