And the amazing thing is that, unlike old Fitzgerald, that old Armstrong is still tooting away today...

Lake Superior, in my limited experience of paddling around in a canoe, is very clear and has a sandy bottom.
In good weather it’s beautiful.

In good weather so is the Atlantic Ocean when your topside in the sail of a US submarine on a moonlight night. You can’t say the same for the North Atlantic in winter.

You’ll see a pair of Great Tit’s. For everyone else that reads this, I meant the birds. Get your minds out of the gutter.

This sinking is probably the most legendary after the Titanic itself. I’m surprised a motion picture wasn’t made of it yet.

WARNING: Don't play that song, or you'll get an "earworm", and be humming/singing it for the next 2 days!

Gitchee Gumee was feared long before any European laid eyes on it. The last of the Great Lakes to be formed as the glaciers retreated, it still feeds the aquifers that form the Mississippi River.

Here is the article, "The Cruelest Month", Gordon Lightfoot read and used as his source material for his song.

To post that remark at #34 is being asleep at the wheel. “Too Late is right” That post should have been in the headline. :)
