The official audio for Gordon Lightfoot - "Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" from the album 'Summertime Dream'. Lightfoot wrote "Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" to commemorate the 29 lives lost in the sinking of the ore carrier SS Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior on November 10, 1975.

"In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call 'Gitchee Gumee'
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early"
Gordon Lightfoot's beautiful tribute to the ship and its crew...
47 years ago today since the Edmund Fitzgerald went missing with the loss of 29 lives RIP to all lost at sea.
