“Lost my grandmother on the Yarmouth Castle Cruise ship. On ship fire.”

Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song about that.

Gordon Lightfoot’s famous song is about a ship disaster, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, released in 1976. The folk-rock ballad commemorates the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald ore freighter and the loss of all 29 crew members on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975

a fantastic song about a VERY sad subject ...
