Thanks Edmund Fitzgerald Radio!!!

Dear friend,

Email service from a sunken freighter lying 500 feet below the frigid waves of Lake Superior can be slow and irregular;  receiving Email from a long-dead skipper even slower.

Your QSL enclosed.
Sincerely,
Captain Ernest M. McSorley
Late of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald

“Shoals of Caribou”
Words and Music by Russell R. Scott

On the Ninth day of November
Mooring off Wisconsin’s shore
A straight decked steamer loaded down
With taconite iron ore
Departed from the Burlington
Railroad dock that morn
Steaming eastward towards Detroit
On Superior’s fatal course

A savage Great Lakes Northerner
Unleashing all its force
Was breaking seas across the deck
When Fitzgerald altered course
Toward the lee of the Canadian shore
The master and his crew
Braved the deadly waters
Near the shoals of Caribou

Fighting seas behind Fitzgerald
Running down bound too
The steamer Arthur Anderson
The master and his crew
Received a call from up ahead
Fitzgerald’s hull had listed
A fence rail had been torn apart
And two ballast tank vents missing

The radar systems of Fitzgerald
Failed against the gale
The Anderson assisted
As they steered a southeast trail
The seas were climbing higher
As the icy north wind blew
The iron boats around
The rocky shoals of Caribou

Three ocean vessels traveled up bound
Passing in the night
But they had passed the radar screens
Showed nothing left in sight
The master of the Anderson
Reported grave concern
Unknown to him Fitzgerald
Would never more return

Caribou, in Canadian crystal waters
Six fathom shoal lies waiting
Off the isle of Caribou
