Somewhere I have a picture of the Edmond Fitzgerald entering the harbor at Duluth, Minnisota. I took it while stationed at the air force base between October 1966 and January 1970. I have also witnessed the power of November storms on Lake Superior. The waves from a northeaster get funneled into the western end of the lake and really pile up into some monsters. Whitefish Bay gets the same effect from north and west winds.

There were not many of the great lake fleet I did not see at one time or another many of them more than once.

Mother Nature is indeed a force to be reconed with.
