Friends of my family lived in the summer in Grand Haven and I stayed there with them.

I road my bike over to the Grand river at the confluence and there was a ship moored and I took pictures of it .
Never before had I seen a ship that large and I walked back and forth from stem to stern many times marveling at the immense size . Called my dad later and told him how cool I thought it was.

After summer vacation was over life returned to normal.

When I heard about the ship-wreck I went and found my pics and shared them with my dad.

We both teared up.

By now you've guessed the pictures I took were of the Edmund Fitzgerald .

I'm sure I still have them and if I can find them and scan them I'd like to share them.

My eyes are a little watery typing this now and it's been years. Still find it very sad.
