"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.
