People regularly misspell Edmund as Edmond when referring to the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. It’s an easy enough mistake to overlook, except it’s not when another ship, the Schooner E.Fitzgerald sank on the Great Lakes as well. November 14, 1883 the Edmond Fitzgerald sank on Lake Erie.

After his passing in 2023, the Mariner’s Church began adding a 30th ring of the bell in honor of all Gordon did to keep alive the memory of the Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew.
Back in the day I was a huge car magazine enthusiast. Had subscriptions to a number of different outlets. Read a story of a guy that had stolen a brand new Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. The only reason the cops were able to catch him was that he kept using his turn signals. Finally they get him stopped and he only had one leg. Operated the clutch with his cane.
I don't know what this has to do with anything.
@TriPSU91 There were distress calls. McSorely was on the Ship to Shore phone all afternoon with Company engineers. He was acutely aware that the boat was mortally wounded.
