SS Edmund Fitzgerald



It does appear I'm on a bit of a SSEF jag doesn't it? The ore carrier was lost with her entire crew of 29 men on Lake Superior Nov.10, 1975, 17 miles off Whitefish Point.

"The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake it is said never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy"

The Arrow Supply Store Blog's Soon To Be Grand Opening


Hi! Good morning and welcome to the Arrow Supply Store. This, if you can't tell, is a work in progress. And we, myself included, are smack dab in the middle of another one of those danged early summer construction zones. So please keep your patient face on despite the heat and humidity while this site is being constructed.
I thought since at least many of these posts will be Michigan-specific, I'd start with a 1975 photo of a very full and low in the water looking, Edmund Fitzgerald.
