When The Gales Of November Came Early

33 years ago on this date (November 10, 1975) the ore carrier S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald sank during a storm on Lake Superior taking with her all 29 men aboard, may they rest in peace.

 

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee

The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead

When the skies of November turn gloomy
