Not quite the romance of the Titanic, but still: (h/t The Buzz)
DETROIT — An apple farmer and his family believe they've found a life ring from the Edmund Fitzgerald roughly 200 miles away from where the famed ship sank in Lake Superior 32 years ago.
Of course, there are questions and skeptics, and the whole thing may turn out to be a hoax, but tell me you didn't feel a chill when you saw the words Edmund Fitzgerald.
"In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early"
Did you feel it?
