I scanned this sometime ago, so here is the ship in question for those who have never seen it before

Thanks for posting the picture, Gord. I remember seeing many "iron boats" similar to the Edmund Fitzgerald in the harbor at Duluth in the early 70's! Also, if you stand on the shores of Lake Superior, you can sometimes see the ships far out on the horizon...really neat!

Gosh,no wonder it sank. It may have been made of steel but it looks like a single Kit Kat bar that you can easily break in two. I'm sure the ship was as sturdy as they could make it,unlike the Titanic. I wonder why no one ever made this into a movie? Of course,I think it's too late for that given the success of the film Titanic. Great picture! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Borderstone,outta here and Alberta Bound.

[SomewhereupinMichigan]

Border: That's actually a pretty good analogy that you've come up with. In many respects the big iron ore freighters ARE Kit Kat bars that you can snap in two..."when the skies of November turn gloomy." That's why they make for shore-usually!

[Restless]

Actually there is a movie being made of the sinking. I read a good article on one of the many "edmund fitzgerald" web sites. I think they may have had some production problems but...

[pleyore]

The Edmund Fitzgerald movie has been in the works for litteraly years.....I'll be suprised if it even makes it on film. The producer was having problems getting the financing to make the movie.

Work hard, keep your mouth shut, and good things will happen !

Your welcome, haven't heard much from me lately cuz I have been hoping my own board will fly, guess not. It might have an early death.

[Borderstone]

In reference not only to the picture but the song and actual event itself...Do you remember ever hearingabout the actual event on the news at all? I know I don't because I was too young then. When the song came out I was 8 but never heard it until the early '80s. Anyone out there read about or see on the news back in '75 about this? If you did,tell us all about it and of course,what you thought of the song when it debuted in '76. It still gives me chills,even after having heard it for over 20 years. Well,gotta go. Catch ya on the flipside of Sundown! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

[Borderstone]

Well Brink,sometimes having a good memory like I do,I tend to forget that others may not be the same way. I tell you though,sometimes it gets very annoying being able to remember so many things and so many years back in my life. I was 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 in 1971 and that's as far back as I can recall things. Like the way I recall hearing Sundown in '74 on a top 40 station out of Erie,PA. Or even seeing "Laugh*In" on network TV! Must have been the last season. I think you recalled pretty well yourself. Well,it's been me and I'll catch ya on the flipside of Sundown! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

I agree that this would make a great movie. But it all depends on what kind of a person does it. If they ever make a movie out of this I think it will either be an awesome movie or it will be the worst and most boring film you've ever seen. There has to be more of a story behind it. You wouldn't want to come out with a film like The Perfect Storm.

How do you add photos to this site? I have a bunch of Edmund Fitz photos including some underwater ones showing it broken up etc.

[fowlesjohn]

Watchman? Watchman? Help! Hey PTTS, have you ever been to Fathom Five? I would love to get picture from out there again. I gues I will just have to make the trip again.
Hey, you know it's funny that Gord never wrote anything about that area and it's just in his own backyard too. The wrecks there did not entice him because of how long ago they sank. Too bad, I have read so many books about the ships in that narrow area and that area in general. Well, another day, huh?
Brink, did you see the post for you in the small talk section?

paddletothesea,

You have to have the pics uploaded on the internet to post them on a forum. If it's easier for you, email them to me and I can post them for you.

Thanks for the info John, that may have been the website I attempted to reproduce the pic from.

I do have the sheet music. I purchased it some years ago from 'Music Pro'? I think from somewhere in Canada, $5.95. It is my pride and joy (Apart from my D18GL) as Gordon has signed it for me. With dedication.

OK so far so good but nobody has yet answered the oft-asked question "how to post a picture on this bulletin board" I tried several times before I succeeded last week in making a my picture of a CNR diesel in Jasper Alberta stick
So for the benefit of "Edna with her head in the clouds" and others
I thought a short tutorial would help those members of the great unwashed public who are not as gifted as Al the Watchman!!! No insult intended or implied to any of the fine people reading this!!!
As this is really off topic I will start a new topic on the “Small Talk" forum under the title
“how to include a picture in your message”
but meanwhile here is an interesting picture I discovered on the
a site with some good reading (maps) etc on the Fitz
http://www.uoguelph.ca/~dtyszler/Image4.gif ]http://www.uoguelph.ca/~dtyszler/Image4.gif[/img][/URL]
linked to the actual picture on the site http://www.uoguelph.ca/~dtyszler/EdFitzWeb.htm
of course as you will see in my tutorial
how to include a picture in your message Although there are several outdated links on that site to Newsgrouper Tony Wesley’s comprehensive Fitz page these links should now be to :- http://tonywesley.com/edm-fitz.html

By the way, does anyone know of where I might could get an Edmund Fitz shirt with a photo or picture of the ship broken in 2 on the front or back?? I doubt there are any but please let me know.

Also, are there any Fitz shirts with a picture of the ship on the front or back with lyrics of the song written above it?

I expect to get such a tee will require you to select the pictures and wording you desire then take it to a local tee shirt printer
or find out how to do it using an ink-jet colour printer
However and after a modicum of Googling for "edmund fitgerald" then searching within the results for "tee shirts" I found http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/glbc/showprod.cfm?objectgroup_id=1&catid=1
who already have a fitz tee for $17.95
during this and other searches I found a wealth of other interesting fitz sites
including in particular:- http://www.lakersphotography.com/fitz/bigfitz_dec01.htm
which shows a fine model under construction
and the site by seventeen year-old webmaster Timothy C. McCall
http://www.ssefo.com
which sets out to be in its latest revised format
"the all new S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald Online, the most comprehensive
and informative website about the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald anywhere on the internet!"
Whilst replying the site where I found the very nice sunset painting that I originally
linked to in my tutorial on putting picures on this forum is:- http://pet-portraits.net/edmund_fitzgerald_artprints.html
which also features a feast of fitz desktop wallpaper pictures at http://www.pet-portraits.net/edmund_fitzgerald_wallpaper.html
If you search long enough you will undoubtedly find the sort of pictures you want to sport on your tee shirt
I should have mentioned before that the gentleman posing in front of his namessake in the photo I linked to earlier is the president of the insurance company that originally financed construction of the fitz

It sure does Gwen and I'd be mighty obliged if you actually live in Cleveland if you could acquire and send to me
a crate or two of "burning River Pale Ale" http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/Brews/burning.cfm
that page refers to "English Pale Ale made in Burton-on-trent" this is undoubtedly a reference to the famous Bass Pale Ale first produced in 1777; its red triangle trademark was registered in 1876 as the world's first trademark
while you are at it you might as well include a case of the Edmund Fitzgerald porter please as described at http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/Brews/edmund.cfm
http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/Images/Beers/edmund_image.jpg
As matter of interest to any beer lovers here
I once heard a BBC radio program talking about a brewer called Samuel Whitbread who invented a hybrid beer mixture that he tried out on the stout porters at the nearby London Smithfield meat market hence the 2 names for a strong brown beer.
this is somewhat confirmed at http://freespace.virgin.net/mark.speakman/html/realale.htm#Portersporter
You see it is truly amazing what pearls a bit of Google surfing can unearth!!
BTW the pic I linked to earlier shows the president of the insurance company that financed the construction of the Fitz in font of his namesake in case anybody was wondering why I chose that pic as my experiment in making pics appear here

In responce to the post regarding a movie about the Fitz' sinking...this has been in the works for several years. I once, actually got ahold of the producer and was told that they were in the "casting" stages. This was almost 2 years ago. He kept my email address, but never got back with me with any updates.

There is however, a movie out about life on a "laker". It's called "LakeBoat". I have a copy of the movie and am not sure if I like it or not. It has several "famous" actors in it, and great footage of the actual ship (the Seaway Queen). It's kind of obscure, but worth watching once.

One thing I definetley know about movie - making in Hollywood,if a movie takes more than 2 years to make,expect a disaster. Look back to,"Heaven's Gate" for proof. Or even as most recently in the case of Mariah Carey's,"Glitter". She started talking about that movie in '96 or'97 and it didn't get finished until 2001! As most people who did see the move said to me,she needs acting lessons! Getting released the week of 9/11/01 didn't help either. We can only hope that if this film ever is completed that it doesn't sink like a stone. (No bad taste humor intened.) Been me,later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Hm-m. No, John I don't live in Cleveland, I just up there last week and I intend to be there next weekend at the airshow. I suppose I could look it up for you, however, Old Watchman lives up there somewhere and I bet he knows where the brewery is, any idea Watchman?
When I spent some time in England I found those dark ales and stouts to be butt-kickers, know what I mean?

I live about 60 miles NE of Cleveland. I have heard of that brewery but not being a drinker, I have never been there. I am going to get a bottle with the Fitz on it though. Just in case times ever get tough and I have to move into a trailer, I will have something to put in my window.

No offense to anyone who lives in a trailer. I drove through a trailer park last weekend and saw a trailer with bottles in the window. No offense.

Thank you for the picture. A picture is worth more than 1000 stories.

I wonder why GL felt close and dedicated the song to the ship. From listening to his songs, I know he has close relationship to the sea.

Later-I have just realised that a worthy companion to Cleveland's Fitzgerald porter is a Yorkshire brewery's Lightfoot ale

I once found this on sale in my local English supermarket and still have the bottle labels as shown below but alas the very tasty brew was consumed a long time ago!!

that page refers to "English Pale Ale made in Burton-on-trent" this is undoubtedly a reference to the famous Bass Pale Ale first produced in 1777; its red triangle trademark was registered in 1876 as the world's first trademark
while you are at it you might as well include a case of the Edmund Fitzgerald porter please as described at http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/Brews/edmund.cfm

Later-I have just realised that a worthy companion to Cleveland's Fitzgerald porter is a Yorkshire brewery's Lightfoot ale

I once found this on sale in my local English supermarket and still have the bottle labels as shown below but alas the very tasty brew was consumed a long time ago!!

Shame on you Norman you have obviously been far too busy painting your canoe Canary Yellow to find the time to read through the various postings on this topic and in particular my contribution above dated August 24th:-
OK it was exactly because Norman said he had pictures to put up here that I started a more-or-less successful topic called
"how to include a picture in your message"
on the parallel "small talk" forum a while ago:- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3354444225&category=30144
I do not always succeed and have still not properly explored the Watchman's suggestion to try a geocities web site as a repository for pics that can then be simply linked from this forum so that they appear in all their glory here.
