"All that remains is the faces and the names of the wives, the sons, and the daughters."

At the Maritime Museum in Duluth at the edge of Canal Park, there housed are artifacts of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It is a somber reminder of Mother Nature's wrath.

1. I've seen the ship's bell and other artifacts brought up from the wreck

The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum & lighthouse at Whitefish Point in Michigan's Upper Peninsula has many interesting exhibits. If you're ever in the area, it's well worth a visit.

2. I was thinking of that sad event this morning...

In 1975, I lived very close, minutes really, to Fairport Harbor on Lake Erie, listed as the home of a lost crew member, and close enough to hear the church bells toll in memory for the lost.

3. I was born in Cleveland myself.

On my last trip there in 2003, I could see out off Lake Erie, cargo ships.
