The Edmund Fitzgerald: The Song of the Bell

As the weather gets colder this time of year, and we hear the first winter storm warnings, I am often reminded of the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald. This book, beautifully created by Kathy-jo Wargin and Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen tells the tragic story of the ore-laden ship that sank suddenly in 1975 in Lake Superior during a early winter storm. The oil paintings, in particular, capture the drama of this tragedy.
