The only song by Lightfoot I ever liked.

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours"....

Powerful lyrics I will never forget.

Here's the official NTSB/USCG report.

I read the whole thing this morning after realizing that today was the 30th anniversary of the tragedy.

That's the report I had read once before and hadn't book-marked it. Thanks for posting it, Don.

Here's an interesting site for more information, including information on the ship's bell recovery and more about the replacement bell that was inscribed with the crew's names and placed on the wreck.

Rather then navigating the entire site, this takes you directly to the page detailing the Ship's Bell recovery.
