The Edmund Fitzgerald?

Question

Does that make anyone else cry when they listen to the song?

Answer 1

Gordon Lightfoot  Oh what a song , Just goes to show you that the GREAT LAKES are not to be taken lightly, Ive lost many friends on the Great Lakes, YES the song is haunting, Have you seen the Doc. on the Edmund Fitzgerald.  The Legond Lives on .

Answer 2

I not cry but it causes me to think of ships that when down in the oceans of the world. The men and women that lost their lives to the sea. I have a deep love of the ocean, and there no other place I would rather die than in the embrace of the sea.

Answer 3

It makes all English speaking seafarers give pause and think of the tragedy.

Answer 4

Dying at sea is part of the trade.  Its sad, but it was proven this ship sunk do to someones error.  I have read two books on this tragedy.  Like most unfortunate tragedy's, it could have been avoided.  I spent a few years at sea in the Navy.  It is a wonderful world at sea.  

   It spends on me when I hear the song, but knowing these men went down doing what they loved, helps.  A very good question, and it sure caught my eye when surfing the questions. Thanks.
