We have a painting of the Edmund Fitzgerald on our living room wall. It depicts the moments before the Fitz cracked and sank as she tried to navigate the huge waves. James Clary is a well known artist who painted Great Lakes freighters. This is considered his best work.
I forget the number but it’s one of only 750 copies. My brother has another one.
Our kids found it last year for sale online. The seller didn’t know the value. They got it for $750. Copies usually go for $3000 or so.
The paining is very dark and foreboding and clearly depicts the everptesent danger of the sea.
