row_33 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Cat from the Seinfeld reference in the Andrea Doria episode. They played that song non-stop it seemed on Toronto and Hamilton radio back in the day, no within my 10 year old appreciation levels.

Marv's Neighbor Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've always liked that song Yeah, me too, but I grew up in Buffalo, watching the lake freighters. I remember that day, and the weather was very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I was 12 and I honestly have no recollection of the sinking. The song definitely, but still never really remembered the incident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 "... and farther below Lake Ontario takes in what lake Erie can send her." Love that song and proudly sing that line every time I head it. It's probably the only song I know of that mentions Lake Ontario or the region where I'm from originally. (Rochester.) Apart from this song and "The Erie Canal", what other songs mention upstate NY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the first week, but I don't know what's going on with the board software, what was a simple copy/paste last year, gets all the formatting screwed up this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Arthur M. Anderson is still plying The Lakes... Anderson was the last vessel to make contact with The Fitz. Wanna see where The Anderson is on the live AiS map... Just east of Alpena, Michigan at time of this post: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-83.0/centery:45.2/zoom:8 Looks like The Anderson is leaving The Lakes and heading to Marin, Spain for the winter... Origin was Drummond Island, Michigan... Edited November 11, 2021 by ExiledInIllinois 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Amazing they have this tech. Imagine if they had it in 1975! Here is the Arthur M. Anderson's forecasted track to Spain: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-45.9/centery:45.7/zoom:2 The boat was built in 1952...Six years earlier than when the Edmund Fitzgerald (1958) was launched.
