Wow! I always love to hear the stories of what you've mentioned. One of these years I'd like to sail on the Great Lakes on one of the freighters for a couple of weeks for vacation.Seems like everytime I get along the coastlines of the (Pacific, Atlantic oceans, Gulf of Mexico,Great Lakes) I always get that haunting feeling of the sailors & the ships, Especially when visiting the many Light Houses. I'm sure that you've gotten that feeling as well! Hey Thanks for dropping by!

I love the song, the museum, and your video to go along with the song now I know it may sound selfish but my father worked on the lake freighters with the Cleavland Cliffs Co.a long time before I was born and to be honest although he is gone now I thank god every day that nothing like this happend to him but when I hear the song and think of the ones that was not as fortunate as my self well I just start tearing up I would have to assume they where all good men and God is looking over them now

It sure is a great song! I never tire of it! I was in 5th grade when this wreck happened & the song came out. I remember our music teacher letting us listen to this one several times over a few weeks & then asked us if we'd like to learn & sing this one,...We all agreed & by the following class,...He had everything in print for us. Mr. Lightfoot realy has a great voice, As well as being an all around great performer!!!!!
