I was general manager of a marine fueling operation in Duluth-Superior for 16 years. We operated an 8,000 bbl fueling tanker in the harbor and our tanker captain had put the last N6 oil aboard the Ed Fitz the day before she sailed.
The regular cook on the Fitz turned up ill and a replacement cook was ordered aboard for the final trip prior to layup.
This cook was a spooky guy. He told our captain that he had a foreboding that the trip to Cleveland would be his last.

An old neighbor of ours, passed away in the early 90’s, was a retired tug captain on the Great Lakes and told us he was probably the last person to see them alive........................
