  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2023
  • In part 2 of our coverage of the Daniel J. Morrell, Captain Darrell Walton brings more insight on the tragedy, and dives back into the Edmund Fitzgerald as we wrap up our Great Lakes Maritime coverage for the 2022-23 winter season. Capt. Darrell also brought along some interesting artifacts, including his father's (Wade Walton/Chief Engineer on the Edmund Fitzgerald) Z-Book, which includes signatures of Ernest McSorley, the Captain who went down with the Fitzgerald. Capt. Darrell also graced me, the History Mystery Man, with yet another gift to treasure...all that and so much more! Thanks for your incredible support of my channel. Now let's go racing! #HistoryMysteryMan #DanielJMorrell #EdmundFitzgerald #GreatLakes #Shipwrecks

It`s as if they are speaking through them. Mr, Lightfoot recorded the song in the dark as a tribute to the brave Men who were lost. He had a celtic melody that as at that time, had no words for.

    I really loved listening to this video and I especially loved seeing those old pics. And why I continue (like today) to tear up everytime I learn/listen to things in regard to the Edmund Fitzgerald, I have no idea since I have no real ties to it, other than me still working at Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (it'll be 35 years this May 23rd) and knowing the story, the song, having seen many times over the years, the huge, beautiful painting of Mr. Edmund Fitzgerald still hung on the 8th floor in our hallway of our downtown Milwaukee Home Office - the Old South Building with the huge Greek columns built in 1914. As a Roman Catholic, like Mr. Fitzgerald, I don't think I really believe in reincarnation (we're not suppose to anyway), but if there is such a thing, then I must have had some past life maybe working in connection to the shipping on the Great Lakes or married to a man who did?! 😁 I took a picture of his painting years ago and it's somewhere in my phone, but if you'd ever like me to send you this picture, I'd be happy to go take another picture and send to you. I work on the 1st floor of the same building where his painting is hung. BTW, do you know John Gurda? He is a Milwaukee Historian and worked at NML for a handful of years maybe 10-15 years ago. We actually have an NML Museum now located in our new Tower completed in 2017. John knows EVERYTHING Milwaukee related, NML related, and I have no doubt could tell and show you many things regarding Mr. Fitzgerald! 😊

      Great to hear from you again, William. So cool to hear from you all the way from Ireland. There are museums and points of interest about the Maritime industry all over the Great Lakes. The National Museum of the Great Lakes is here in my hometown Toledo, Ohio. The museum at Whitefish Point holds the Fitzgerald's original bell recovered from the ship...lots to choose from. Thanks again...HMM

    Don, another great video from you sir! Not sure if you would remember me but we met at one of the Fitzgerald events at the National Great Lakes Museum. We discussed Captain McSorley's residence in Ottawa Hills and you were fairly certain that he may have had another residence in Toledo. Anyway, congratulations on the success of your channel! Also, there is a fantastic book on the Morrell, the crew and their families by John DeBeck. Mr. DeBeck did a wonderful tribute to the men of the Morrell and there are many pictures of the men including John Schmidt in his book.

I think Hale had said it on an interview I seen. So I wonder how many guys were back in the stern when she broke and I wonder if any were alive the whole time she drove on her own. One of the lines from Lightfoot’s song of the Fitzgerald “ it’s been good to know ya” I’ve heard that a person on the Morrell had said that. I think his name was Norm Bragg who had also survived the Henry Steinbrenner sinking too. So if that’s where Lightfoot got it from it does include the Morrell.
