Edmund Fitzgerald

Forty-eight years ago tonight, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald set out on her final voyage.

And all that remains is the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters.- Gordon Lightfoot

One of the last photos taken of the EDMUND FITZGERALD with a dismasted America’s Cup 12-Meter sailboat HERITAGE (12 US-23) in the foreground. July 1975.

What’s your opinion on Pompeii then

tbh, i dont feel necessarily qualified to discuss the ethics around pompeii.

as i stated in the post, ocean liners and shipwrecks are one of my special interests so i know quite a lot about that kind of thing. ive watched a lot of interviews with survivors of wrecks or family members of those who died. this includes victims of titanic where family members have said they doont watch folks going down there to gawk at the wreck. there are also several shipwrecks that cannot be treated as tourist hotspots either because of respect for the dead or to avoid things like plundering or vandalism, like the fitz or the greek trading ship in the black sea.

because of all that, i feel that i know enough about the topic to speak on it and i will defer to what the survivors and the families of victims say.

im not that well-versed on pompeii beyond what most people know. ive never come across any discussion about it as a tourist spot or as part of "dark tourism', so my opinion is that my opinion on that matter is worthless.

if anyone who does know more about it, id love to hear what you think about it as a tourist spot.

#anon #pompeii #titanic #edmund fitzgerald #shipwrecks #dark tourism #we very briefly covered pompeii for about five minutes in a geography lesson when i was 12 #and ive watched the puppet history video on ir #and thats the extent of my knowledge #so my opinion is not worth much in this discussion #id rather defer to those who know more

This is a day late but it's Edmund Fitzgerald Day! (Nov 10). For those unaware, the Edmund Fitzgerald was a Great Lakes Freighter that sank in a sudden and fierce November gale on November 10, 1975, with the loss of all 29 crew members. The Fitz remains the last freighter to have sank in Great Lakes waters. Gordon Lightfoot penned a song about the tragedy after newspapers misspelled the name of the ship. Lightfoot viewed that as an offense to the memories of the sailors and wanted to do something to raise public awareness of the tragedy. His song did so much for the sailors that when he passed away, the Mariners Church rang the bell 30 times - once for each sailor lost and once for Lightfoot.

Today is the day we remember the Fitz and the thousands of ships and sailors who have died on the Great Lakes so that we can live comfortably. I encourage you to look into the lesser-known ships that have gone down into the depths of the Lakes, and to honor the memories of those who have lost their lives.

Today, I am in my feelings about a ship that sank before I was even born.

"Should the Titanic wreckage, a gravesite to more than 1,500 lost lives, be off limits to sightseers?"

Absolutely! If you want to see the Titanic there are plenty of videos out there. NOBODY needs the flex of actually going down there and disturbing the gravesite. It's not a tourist attraction. Have some respect.
