Default Re: She was very big that "FITZGERALD" !

Switching topic back to the Fitz...
we happened to be talking about the Edmund Fitzgerald at work last week. As fate would have it, it was the day before the anniversary (no one knew this of course). In any case, (and would you believe it, they had The Wreck on iTunes and playing away as we chatted... I didn't have to break out my copy!). One of my associates, Pat, happened to have visited the Whitefish Point Shipwreck Museum this past year and shared some photos that I'll post below, along with a link to the museum's web site.
The photos include a shot of the ship's bell, a couple of shots of a model/replica (note the life preserver on display behind the model).
An additional wierd twist of fate. the SS Arthur M Anderson was sailing past that same day, so there is a snap shot of that as well.
Too many strange coincidences, maybe we should have been playing the Twilight Zone theme song instead!!!
I hope you enjoy the pictures...
