That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early

Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?

And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters

Incredibly astute lines and really hits home those of us that have experienced the ocean at it’s worst. You can say the entire Lord’s Prayer in one of those minutes.

Have a good pic around here somewhere with my dad watching a freighter on the St. Clair River near the Blue Water Bridge back in the 70’s.

The Great Lakes...especially Lake Superior.. can get absolutely vicious and are the graveyards of thousands of ships. I’ve read they are more feared by old salts than even the North Atlantic.

"Arthur M. Anderson is not officially retired, but its future is uncertain due to upcoming inspections and rumors of it being retired. The vessel is currently laid up in Toledo, Ohio, and its certification has expired, which means it would require a full drydock and recertification to sail again"
