There is alot of truth in that good, I am from the upper great lakes area, those lakes can be mean in November, they are worse than a rough ocean. as a kid, I seen the ship several times sailing. it sank in Nov. 1975. the last time I seen it was in Aug. 1975. it was a mystery as first because there was no debris from the ship. people thought it may have vanished, then in the late 1980s with new technology, they found the ship. it is designated as a grave site so theres a 5 mile radius no diving.
i grew up on the shores of lake ontario, having moved out west to the shores of the pacific ocean 25 years ago i forgot just how vast lakes superior and huron really are until i went back home to visit last week. standing upon the shore of lake huron looking out upon sheer vastness of this huge inland freshwater sea really has a way of making a person feel quite small. superiors waters look black, hurons waters look blue, erie and ontario a deep green and michigan brown.

I've never heard this before. It's a fantastic song. Gordon Lightfoot has a style all his own.

No dislikes. Everyone agrees that Gordon Lightfoot is amazing.
Doing a french report in honor of this man. He deserves to be heard in all languages.
