On this day in history.

[bruto]

I'm almost as old as it is. And yes, I grew up watching it.

I'm a lot older, but my stepson watched it every morning for some years, and even nearly 40 years later I find myself internally humming the theme when I wake up in the morning!

November 10, 1975. The SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank on Lake Superior. BTW, here is an outstanding video that (our friend) Mike Brady and the Oceanliner Designs team did for the 50th anniversary. There were several excellent ones made last year, but I think this was clearly the best.
