Today we unveiled a new statue at your capital in Nashville. Davy Crockett certainly was the guardian of the frontier and will be memorialized forever for future generations to understand where we came from and how we build towards a better tomorrow.

The searchers all say they’d have made Whitefish Bay if they put 15 more miles behind them

Replying to @HenryWestGaming
Gordon changed that line after some research proved the main hatchway couldn't have caved in. The mom of the watchmen thanked Gordon after he rewrote it because the song was implying that Bruce Hudson didn't secure it properly

In honor of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald today, here’s a picture of the actual maritime sailors cathedral. It’s located downtown Detroit and about a 9 min drive from me. Every year, on this day, it actually rings its bells 29 times. The day Gordon Lightfoot passed, I was honored to hear 30 bells, one extra for Lightfoot.

My favorite two parts of the background of Gordon Lightfoot writing “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”: 1) Lightfoot read a news story on the wreck and they spelled the name of the ship wrong. Offended by this, he wrote the song to honor them properly. 2) The final verse contains the line “the church bell chimed til it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.” This happens to this day on the anniversary at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. When Lightfoot passed away in 2023, they rang the bell 30 times—29 for the sailors lost and once for Lightfoot who immortalized them.
Edmund Fitzgerald Day, year 51. For those who observe.

Today in American History: 1975 The SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a Lake Superior storm, claiming the lives of all 29 crew members. It remains the Great Lakes' most famous shipwreck due partly to the hit 1976 ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.
