I grew up to stories, songs, and several story books inspired by that ship wreck. On occasion. the trading post right outside my city sells art based on the ship. Maybe people here, specifically the older people, remember it so well because the storm that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald is also one of the worst storms to ever hit my community, and most people that lived through it tell me it's the closest thing to a hurricane we've gotten here (discounting freakish snow storms). That's just something that doesn't happen here usually, as the Canadian Shield, which is literally a geographical shield consisting of hills and mountains, protects us from extremely severe weather.
Back on the topic of the song,the song is beautiful, and almost eerie, I imagine the people on the ship when I listen to it. Perhaps it connects because it's about something real.

Call me ignorant, but isn't the Canadian Shield an extension of eroded-by-glaciation land?
I watched a couple of ceremonies involving the crew of this ship.
I think the one where they brought up the ships bell and replaced it with one that has all the crews names engraved on it, is a really good story.
