Edmund Fitzgerald
The Edmund Fitzgerald, a name etched in maritime lore. The
witness Roger Kvande’s father’s next berth was a turning point. The witness, a
harbinger of premonitions, pleaded with him: “Stay ashore.” A plea that echoed
through time, a plea that saved his life. The decision to leave the boats, like
a twist of cosmic yarn, wove a new chapter. He became not just a survivor but
the best grandfather, a legacy that defied the ship’s tragic echo. On that
fateful day November 10, 1975, the mighty ship met its watery grave in the icy
embrace of Lake Superior. Twenty-nine souls, lost to the tempests.
