A former neighbor of mine, now deceased, was a retire tugboat captain on the Great Lakes.
He told me he was the last person to see that crew alive, and the captain was an idiot..........
“and the captain was an idiot......”
Too bad Gordon Lightfoot didn’t work that into the song.
That’s an amazing story. And even sadder for the crew.
I was researching Great Lakes shipwrecks briefly and came across one named for 4th great grandfather. Never learned any more about it but have always been curious.
Just working at the end of Achsah Bond Drive at Adler Planetarium, the power of Lake Michegan in storms was awesome.
