I remember watching the news report that night – Eric Sevareid on TV as it was reported.
This video has some archival footage of Edmund Fitzgerald before it sank along with footage of what it might have been like when the storm hit, and footage of the discovery of the wreck. And most heart breaking the names, ages and hometowns and pictures of many of the lost crewmen.
I seem to recall that living in MD, we were struck by a NorEaster that November as well.
What a fitting tribute to the man who wrote that song and immortalized the memory of those men.

Thank you for posting the link to the YouTube. Very interesting, and touching.
