Today is the 45th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.
I've heard the Gordon Lightfoot song many times in my life, but it was only within the last few years that I realized how soon after the sinking he recorded the song.
I always assumed it had happened decades before the song, but he actually recorded the song only a few weeks after the sinking.
