I grew up in a port town watching these giant ships, we would fish right next to them as they came in the narrow channel, it was pretty awesome being 20 feet away from them as they went by. I was fascinated with these boats. I remember when My dad told me the Mighty Fitz went down, I was crushed.

My best friends brother was on one of these Great Lakes Freighters (I don't remember the name of it) and lost a life long friend on that ship.

It was a genuinely sad day.
