This brings together a great song by Gordon Lightfoot and rare footage. Edited with a clear eye and a large heart it's one of the finest tribute videos I've found of You Tube. Worth your time twice over.

Dang, that song is both so haunting beautiful and sad. The video is, as you say it is.
Thanks for sharing the find.
Posted by: pdwalker at October 9, 2009 2:30 AMAs a lifelong Michigander these last 50 years, I remember that awful storm, and the days afterwards hearing news trickling in of the disaster. I had seen the "Fitz" the year before as it made one of its many trips through the Soo, and as we always did as kids, waved to the crew and got a big wave and smile in return. God bless those brave and tragic men, and their families. Thanks for sharing, and bless the mariners as November comes around again on "the Lakes"
