Good post Tyler. This is one of those moments in my life on the same level as the Challenger explosion, 9/11, etc. We had close family friends that knew Capt. McSorley and have a company flag off of the Fitzgerald. Boat watching has always been a big hobby of mine having grown up on the east side of Toledo and spending alot of my youth watching the shipping traffic around Saulte Ste. Marie, Michigan. I still have all the news paper clipping from the Toledo Blade. If you ever go to the UP go to the museum ship Valley Camp in Saulte Ste. Marie. They have one of the life boats from the Fitz, the amount of damage from the waves is incredible. There is also a good display at the Great Lakes museum at Whitefish Point.
