Thanks for all your positive comments on my work. / If you would like to see some of it in the flesh (or, more like it… canvass) I am currently exhibiting at the Wishart Gallery, in Sackville Street, Port Fairy. I have a few panorama canvasses (45inch x 15inch) on display as well as some lighthouses and “tasties”: small (15cmX10cm) canvasses. / They will be on display up to and including the Christmas school holidays. / If you are passing through Port Fairy, please call in at Wishart Gallery and say Hi to owners Mark and Helen Chapman. They make great coffee, too! PS: and thanks, David lori for your ongoing help and advice…

Today, is the 33rd anniversary of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald. The great ship, a steel bulk cargo freighter and the largest on the Great Lakes at the time, left port at Superior, Wisconsin, mid-afternoon on November 9, 1975 for Detroit, Michigan with a 26+ ton load of taconite pellets (iron ore). A gale quickly kicked up, as typical during November, known on Lake Superior as “The Month of Storms”. The ship reported waves of 10 feet/3+ meters high at 1:00 and 7:00 AM, November 10. Afternoon radio transmissions reported top side damage and listing; a half hour later, the ship lost radar and was taking heavy seas over the deck. Waves were reported to be 30 feet/9+ meters. The Fitzgerald radioed another ship near by, the Anderson at 7:10 PM. The ship entered a squall and disappeared from the Anderson’s radar at 7:25 PM, near the northern tip of Whitefish Point, Michigan. 29 men, aged 21-63 are lost at sea in one of the fiercest storms ever on Lake Superior. All around the Lake Superior region, bells will be rung today 30 times – once for each of the 29 crew members who died on the Fitzgerald, and once for all of the rest of the victims of shipwrecks on the Great Lakes. / Let us not forget these souls lost at sea, November 10, 1975: / Michael Armagost; Iron River, Wisconsin / Frederick Beetcher; Superior, Wisconsin / Thomas Bentsen; St. Joseph, Michigan / Edward Bindon; Fairport Harbor, Ohio / Thomas Borgeson; Duluth, Minnesota / Oliver Champeau; Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin / Nolan Church; Silver Bay, Minnesota / Ransom Cundy; Superior, Wisconsin / Thomas Edwards; Oregon, Ohio / Russell Haskell; Millbury, Ohio / George Holl; Cabot, Pennsylvania / Bruce Hudson; North Olmsted, Ohio / Allen Kalmon; Washburn, Wisconsin / Gortdon MacLellan; Clearwater, Florida / Joseph Mazes; Ashland, Wisconsin / John McCarthy; Bay Willage, Ohio / Ernest McSorley; Toledo, Ohio / Eugene O’Brien; Toledo, Ohio / Karl Peckol; Ashtabula, Ohio / John Poviach; Bradenton, Florida / James Pratt; Lakewood, Ohio / Robert Rafferty; Toledo, Ohio / Paul Riippa; Ashtabula, Ohio / John Simmons; Ashland, Wisconsin / William Spengler; Toledo, Ohio / Mark Thomas; Richmond Heights, Ohio / Ralph Walton; Fremont, Ohio / David Weiss; Agoura, California / Blaine Wilhelm; Moquah, Wisconsin The S.S. Edmund Fitrzgerald is immortalized in the song, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, released by Gordon Lightfoot in 1976. The ship was found in May 1976, broken in two sections in 530 feet/161.5 meters of water.. The bell was raised in 1995, restored and replaced on the ship by a new bell with the names of the 29 men aboard who lost their lives. This is the last time that the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald will ever again be legally dived upon. (source: ssefo.com) The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down / Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee / The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead / When the skies of November turn gloomy. / (opening lines of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, by Gordon Lightfoot)

This short journal, which accompanies the picture in my portfolio, shows the other 4 photographs that I took during February 1983, of the Freight Ferry, European Gateway, which was in a collision with another ship just a few miles from the Suffolk coast, and went down with a loss of 6 lives. / Not to be confused with the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster in March 1987, which was also a Townsend Thoresen ship. Here is a link to the Harwich Lifeboat Station website, who attended the disaster on the 19th December, 1982, which I hope that you find time to read.. Always have respect for the sea, as you never know what may happen to you when you are on it. As with the main picture on my PF, these four pics were taken during a sailing trip along the coast, and we made one circuit of the stricken ferry. / The pictures show the extent of the damage, and the water being pumped from the hull, and in one of the pictures, at the stern of the ship, you can just about make out some of the salvage team on one of the vehicle decks. All pictures were in 35mm format, taken with an Olympus OM1N fitted with various lenses.

When I woke up this morning I could see that it looked a lovely day. I thought this would be a perfect day to go out and snap some pics. It was nearly 10 am so It was too late to head off too far, so I thought I would go up to Fleetwood Marsh nature reserve and shoot some of the old rusty shipwrecks up there. After about 15 mins my fingers were that cold that I could hardly even press the shutter button and resorted to keeping my shutton button hand in my pocket in between shots to keep it warm. Bizzare – but it worked! Anyway, I have put some of the better shots up for all of you to see. Happy shutter clicking folks. Gary
