Lighthouses, Waves, and a Full Moon
The sound of breaking waves, twilight in the sky, and a harvest moon made for a particularly beautiful evening on the shores of Lake Superior tonight.
The moon rose from the horizon at its appointed time just as the final light of day faded into the big lake.

The HMS Bounty visited Duluth in 2010 as part of the Tall Ships Festival. These images are presented as a small tribute to the ship and the two crew members that were lost in Hurricane Sandy.

Eternal Father, Strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave
Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
---"The Navy Hymn" (lyrics 1860 by Rev. William Whiting; set to music in 1861 by Rev. John B. Dykes)
HMS Bounty lost off N.C. coast
14 rescued, 2 missing from HMS Bounty off N.C. coast
From NBS News - A search was under way Monday for two crew members of the stricken ship HMS Bounty, which sank off the coast of North Carolina, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
Earlier Monday, two Coast Guard helicopters rescued 14 people from life rafts after they were forced to abandon ship.
They were flown to Air Station Elizabeth City in North Carolina where they were met by awaiting emergency medical services personnel, the Coast Guard said.
An aircraft was on the scene, searching for the two missing crew members, with a Jayhawk helicopter en route to assist.
The ship issued a distress signal late Sunday after taking on water, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a release.
The owner of the 180-foot, three mast ship -- which was built for the 1962 Marlon Brando movie, "Mutiny on the Bounty" -- lost communication with the crew and alerted the Coast Guard to the situation.
The Coast Guard then received a distress signal from the ship showing its position. It sent out an aircraft to speak with the crew, which reported that the vessel was taking on water and had no propulsion. It was located about 90 miles southeast of Hatteras, N.C.
“The 16 people donned cold water survival suits and life jackets before launching in two 25-man lifeboats with canopies,” the Coast Guard said in the statement. It had earlier reported that there were 17 people aboard the ship.
The director of the HMS Bounty Organization, Tracie Simonin, said that the tall ship left Connecticut last week for St. Petersburg, Fla. The crew had been in constant contact with the National Hurricane Center and tried to go around the storm, she said.
The ship, now reportedly underwater, was earlier surrounded by 18-foot seas and 40 mph winds as Hurricane Sandy moves through the area.

"It appears that two crew members didn't make it on to the life rafts," Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Michael Patterson told NBC News.

October 24, 1899: Wreck of the Criss Grove
Split Rock Island
October 24, 1899: Wreck of the Criss Grove
On October 24th, 1899 on Lake Superior, ninety-foot long, the three-masted schooner Criss Grover ran aground and wrecked near Split Rock Island—eleven years before the Split Rock Lighthouse first lit. Enroute from Bay Mills, Michigan, to Duluth with a load of lumber, the Grover ran into gale or thick fog (accounts differ) and struck a reef near the island. Divers today can see its hull and anchor in about 53 feet of water near the Island. No one was killed, and the next day the crew began stripping it of any reusable items—the vessel was so rotten and damaged it was deemed not worth salvaging. Launched in 1878, the schooner was known among Lake Superior mining towns as a “powder boat,” as she often hauled blasting powder and dynamite to mining and lumber camps when no other vessel would. It wasn’t the first time the Grover had run aground. In 1880 she had also come ashore with heavy damage in Lake Huron near AuSable, Michigan. The wreck was declared a total loss, but she was salvaged and returned to action. Unfortunately, life-saving efforts during that incident proved fatal—for one of the volunteer rescuers. A local judge was manning a small canon that propelled tow lines to the floundering vessel when the cannon exploded, killing him.
