The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald really hits a nerve with my husband. He was in a major shipwreck during Typhoon Rose in 1971
in Hong Kong Harbor. Approx. 250 men aboard.
None were lost due to the fact that they were
finally tossed onto a tiny island and also because of the brave men who secured the ship to land. The ship was totalled and taken apart for scrap metal. It was the wreck of the U.S.S. Regulus.
For 15 hours these men lived in horror. I'm amazed that my husband can listen to that song. It's difficult for me. I watched events unfold, stateside, on news broadcasts.
That song gives me the chills.
