Young Throbber grew weary of that fucking song on AM radio circa 1976. Get that shit off the air and give me my Elton John and Kiki Dee, Four Seasons and Wild Cherry.
But it's a helluva tune.

I always thought it sank in the 1940s or 50s. Didn't realize it was in '75

The Science Channel had a good show about a Ukrainian ship loaded with grain and it broke in half in heavy seas.
The load shifted when the ship rolled with 25-30 meter waves - basically sending the load back and forth, then when she got atop a wave, the load was at each end, she snapped in half. Sank like a rock.
Could have happened to the EF, iirc they said the load under those conditions were similar to liquefaction during an earthquake.
or I could have been drunk and thought that all up. -
People forget the Arthur Anderson was traveling in close proximity to the Edmund Fitzgerald and tracked back to look for it when it vanished from radar. They also forget the Arthur Anderson is still in service today. They forget that.
