The legend lives on...
From the Chippewa on down...
of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
Superior it's said never gives up her dead

And if anyone is feeling particularly nostalgic, stop by the Dossin Museum on Belle Isle this evening. http://www.detroithistorical.org/mai...ng_events.aspx
Thanks, Sciencefair.
Wow, my brother worked on the dock where Chene Park is now on the night of the storm. he saw the EF pass by on it's last trip through the Detroit River to Duluth I believe.
The ore boat in dock that night washed out into the Detroit River the storm was that strong even here. Later they heard the news about EF.
The Fitz was on her way back from Wisconsin coming downward bound when she broke up near Whitefish Bay
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay/
If they'd put 15 more miles behind them
'And why does legend refer to Lake Superior as female? "
My theory would be because Lake Superior is part of the nature created by Mother Nature... Or Mother Earth to the native americans.

Can you tell us oh wise one, the reason Superior never gives up her dead? And why does legend refer to Lake Superior as female?
Yeah, I deleted the post. I am always looking for an excuse to make fun of "Amerikkans" -- but that was irrelevant. Agreed.
There will also be a service tonight at the Mariner's Memorial Lighthouse located inside of Bellanger Park in River Rouge. Starts around 6:30 if I remember correctly. The Fitz was built there and they are very proud of the shipbuilding heritage.
Yeah, I was irritated by that other guy. Of course, not everybody knows TWOTEF by heart anymore.
Ah, the science behind the poetry. Good post, Retroit!
Yeah, that's pretty neat. Sounds like a one-way ticket to Davey Jones' Locker.
