dear all,
When I started this thread I simply inquired about reading material on the Big Fitz. Instead I precipitated a deluge of discussion and debate.
In short I have recieved much more than I bargained for. I live on the other side of the planet: at the bottom of the South Pacific Ocean...see my profile, and thus the Great Lakes is a place I know of only through maps and some photos. I have learned much here from you all but I must single out those of you with sea experience,
Erik in particular who can give answer to more technical turns of questioning. Thanks to you all and keep going.
Thanks again
Martin.
P.S. yes Erik, Gordon Lightfoot's song is the first I ever heard of that ship and it still makes my spine crawl. He is very good with his words and music. no chance of any irish blood in him?
