Agate Bay
“The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down . . .”
… Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore 26,000 tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early”
~from “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon Lightfoot
