Sadly no sign of them was ever found. Not that day but its kind of cool they found the wreck eventually. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

That's interesting - I was teaching 3rd grade when she went down. My mother was from Stoney Point , New York and she just thought it was a horrible disaster . We watched channel 9 out of Kansas City back then , Larry Moore ! Those iron ships have kinda become a sub-hobby watching YouTube stuff on them . I really want to drive up and see them someday .

The speed of those big ships is very deceptive, once they leave a harbor and get direction they can really cover some water. Writing here is Prohibited by the authorities.

It is one of the greatest songs ever about one of the saddest tales of our great lakes. I will drink a glass tonight in remembrance of the 29 men that still rest on the dark cold bottem of the great lake . 29 glasses?

I can recall as a kid, a couple of occasions seeing thousands of tons of soybeans or taconite pellets unloaded into the River to lighten up a boat to free it from a shoal. I don’t think they’d do that today. Many from our area worked the boats. My wife’s grandfather had sailed with Earnest McSorley and spoke well of him. One of my close friends was McSorley’s nephew, McSorley being originally from the Ogdensburg area. Mathew 22: 37-39
