Split Rock Lighthouse - Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Lighting

This evening was the annual event that commemorates the sinking of the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald and the loss of her 29 crew members on November 10, 1975. It is also a time to reflect on the memory of all lives lost in Great Lakes shipwrecks.

The ceremony is also a time to pause and count our blessings. 43 Years ago --- seems like only yesterday!
