Edmund Fitzgerald - Thirtieth Anniversary
 

I saw that tv program a few years ago about the Edmund Fitzgerald
Ship.There was something about at least one or more of the hatches
wasen't fastened down properly.

What frequencies would have been used for communications? HF? VHF?

"At 7 p.m. the Anderson made radio contact with the Fitzgerald and had
her on their radar. When asked how the Fitzgerald was making out they
replied "We are holding our own". This was around 7:10 p.m.. Shortly
afterwards the Fitzgerald disappeared from the Anderson's radar
screen."

Thanks to a link at Trainorders.com for the tip.

It's estimated that between 7:20 and 7:30 pm EST on November 10, 1975 the Edmund
Fitzgerald was lost.

Pause and remember.

520 feet down, in two pieces with the taconite cargo strewn on the
lake floor between them. Ten years ago, the bell was brought up,
cleaned, and is now in a memorial display at Whitefish Point. A replica
bell was cast from bronze, inscribed with the names of the captain and
28 crewmembers, and lowered to the ships deck. It is a permanent
gravesight, and will not be disturbed - by law - from henceforth.

Too bad the Titanic Ship was disturbed.Really bad that some people were
down there in that Ship (before she sank) and couldn't get out because
of those locked gates.And those people up there on deck had the audacity
to have the band playing and singing,Nearer my God to Thee.

While I'm on the subject I have to give special mention to "Do The
Crusher"
by The Crusher. Reason is, our new cat earned the name Dick the Bruiser,
and of course Bruiser and Crusher were cousins.

"Listen up, you turkeynecks. One of the most memorable characters ever in
wrestling has died. Or more correctly, gone to the big beer hall in the sky
to start raising hell again with Dick the Bruiser. All praise The Crusher,
dead Saturday at age 79. "

How sad! Thanks for letting me know.

Given my choice between the three, I'd opt instead for the
beautiful word pictures and lithe harmonies of, say, the Trashmen in
their ever-excellent Surfin' Bird.

Ahh, but The Trashmen would opt for The Rivingtons!

Whom, I note, were once known as The Sharps (no relation).

Greetings Frank! Thanks for the great off topic post on the wrestling
history. I loved to watch the Crusher and the Bruiser when I was a kid
growing up in Northern Illinois. I saw them both in matches in
Davenport, Iowa. Crusher was an amazing guy compared to the comic book
characters of wrestling today. I can't bring myself to watch it. Have
a great weekend! Jon.

I quit watching wrestling many years ago when it started getting so
phoney.But anyway,Rest in Peace,The Crusher.
