I remember the song. Actually, the song is why I remember the ship. Always wondered what it looked like.

I saw the boat (On the lakes they’re boats or “lakers”) at the Soo Locks a few weeks before she sank.

It’s sort of awful, isn’t it? The accident was so dreadful, but it’s such a great song. I feel like Gordon Lightfoot was completely inspired by God in writing that song. I know that is true of many songs, but I was just struck by it after I watched a documentary about the sinking.

I was on active duty, studying radar in Great Lakes, Ill. I remember the storm well, lots of wind and snow.
