Didn't you get the impression that the hatches failed and allowed too much water to engulf the holds?

That's the theory I subscribe too. It's happened before and will happen again.

Re: Edmund Fitzgerald
I see how it is. I post this same subject on THE DAY of the anniversary and it gets closed.
Whatever.

Re: Edmund Fitzgerald
Thanks for bringing this up. A good friend of mine was a real Edmond Fitzgerald buff, even visited the museum. Every year he would get some Edmond Fitzgerald Ale from a specialty beer store and we would toast the lost sailors. Unfortunately, my friend died this spring of leukemia. This year we have to have a toast for him also.
