Not really sailing but it is nautical in nature: Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, by Gordon Lightfoot,
We visited friends in Duluth MN last Summer and went to the Lake Superior Marine Museum, and also saw an ore carrier go under the lift bridge from Lake Superior into the harbor. This is a place where The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald isn’t just a song, but is very much *real* *life*.
the Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald is the best! I cry every time I hear it.
