This history has absolutely nothing to do with the Edmund Fitzgerald other than water.

“This history has absolutely nothing to do with the Edmund Fitzgerald other than water.”

Au contraire mon frere

Both vessels were freighters hauling cargo when they sank.

Both went down without a trace and said to have “vanished”

Both failed to send a distress signal before they went down

Both crews died as a result of adhering to their commercial obligations.

Both were committed to a commercial time table they had little capacity to alter.

Both sank with all hands.

Both were a mystery when they went down.

Both were mourned by families and mariners for years.
....

Live a little will ya...

Maybe some day you’ll have greater respect for people who die adhering to their obligations and keeping their agreements. That’s what the Big-Pants-People do - they adhere to their obligations.
