Ill never forget the news the next day saying one of the great lakes Iron Ore freighters was missing. Cant imagine what those 29 brave guys went though the last few hours. RIP

She broke in half when the nose hit the bottom they believe. Yeah, what a bad & scary way to go! RIP to the brave crew so many years ago. No Man With A Good Car Needs To Be Justified

I was a Michigan resident most of my adult life... only went up to the UP maybe 4 times .... One of the hottest summers ... went to swim near White Fish Point...., Couldn’t do it ... water was maybe 50 or so degrees ...

I was at Whitefish point (Lake Superior) in August of '94...took my shoes off and waded in up to my calves. Water was COLD COLD COLD!!!! My toes were almost numb after just a few minutes, and this was mid August. R.I.P. to the crew of 29 aboard the E.F. and to all the other lost souls that have died on the Great Lakes.
