The Legend of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Noteworthy that it was the largest ship on the Great Lakes at that time,

Offering a modern 1950s style of freighter made the "Fitz" very sublime,

Vessels became bigger as this mighty carrier still gave 17 years of service, 

Everyone who boarded and worked on her was filled with pride and bliss,

Maintaining a standard of excellence for almost two decades until one day,

Being loaded in Wisconsin and crossing Superior lead to cruel bitter dismay,

Experienced crewmen knew the risks of bad weather given the turn in season,

Recalling 29 souls lost in mystery five decades on remains the somber reason!
