Do Any Of You Remember When It Happened?
The sinking of the "Fitz" that is....
I live in Cleveland, Ohio, relatively close to the shores of Lake Erie so I grew up seeing the huge ships pass by....or making there way into the docks...loading or unloading.
I didn't hear about the "Fitz" sinking until the next day on the six o'clock news. With a number of men from Ohio on the "Fitz", it was big news here in Cleveland.
I could not believe it happened. I thought those freighters could take any kind of weather.
A year and a half later, the first time I heard "The Wreck" I got goose bumps....I will never forget that also.
