Edmund Fitzgerald items sell for thousands at Lightfoot auction

DULUTH — Fans of the late Gordon Lightfoot rewarded the Canadian singer-songwriter's estate with prices stretching up to $350,000 for items he owned, including numerous pieces related to the Lake Superior ballad "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
An acoustic guitar used to write that song and others sold for $350,000 in an auction run by Dallas-based Heritage Auctions that closed Sunday. According to a news release, a group of "several Canadian collectors" pitched in to secure that instrument.

Well, she made Whitefish Bay, but it didn't help.

The vessel, the Western Reserve, went down 132 years ago during a summer cruise for the family of its millionaire owner and shipping magnate Peter G. Minch. The voyage to escape the heat turned tragic along a stretch of Michigan now known as Lake Superior's Shipwreck Coast. The tragedy killed 27 and left only one survivor.
Its final resting place 600 feet deep off the coast of Michigan's Upper Peninsula eluded researchers until last summer when a crew from the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society discovered the wreckage. They announced the landmark find at the Wisconsin Underwater Archeological Association's annual Ghost Ships meeting Monday in Manitowoc.

A powerful gale overtook the ship roughly 60 miles north of Whitefish Point and it began breaking apart around 9 p.m. It sank within about 10 minutes.

That sounds like an 1890s version of "Gilligan's Island" — without the island.

And if you ever find yourself traveling through the eastern U.P., the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is definitely worth a visit.
