For me it was listening to Wreck twice.

Once while going to college, in New Orleans, I was driving by the Mississippi River on a cold and rainy, (well cool for most, cold for New Orleans,) and the song came on as I watched a freighter pass going up river. It wasn't on the Lakes, or a big ship like the Fitz, but it was still spooky.

Then, years later, again in New Orleans, I saw Gord in concert. He was performing in an open air venue with the river to his back. When he began Wreck another freighter passed behind him. With the stage lights all you could really see was the ship's lights. When the line, "When her lights went outta site," was sung, that was pretty spooky too.

Added a lot to that concert too.
