I happened to be in Duluth this summer standing on the pier not far from the Mariner's museum where several artifacts of the EF are are display. We were watching a ship come into port through the channel and upon it reaching us saw that it was the Arthur B. Anderson. That was really eerie but very heartwarming as well.

Hi all,If I knew how to post pictures I could put some up of the families venture to Whitefish Point on friday.It was a great day low 50's,bright sunshine,10-20mph wind,but only 1-2ft waves.That is our family's favorite spot to go to.If any of you get the chance to go you wont be disapointed at the beauty of Whitefish Point lighthouse and museum.

Why are shipwrecks so fasinating to most people including myself?

I was JUST reading a book this afternoon at the Chicago Historical Societys book store about a shipwreck called the Eastland Disaster where a ship carrying 2500+ employees of the Western Electric Company in Cicero, IL capsized on the Chicago river killing 847 peple in 1915. Most of the people that died were from my neighborhood in Berwyn, IL and then next door to us in Cicero, IL

Paul Harvey did a "rest of the story" on this loss and it was interesting.
