Hello,

Just in case you haven't heard about this, a movie on this tragedy may be in the works:

PORT HURON, MI -- Movie producers and former Great Lakes captains will gather in Port Huron to discuss a flick on the Edmund Fitzgerald.

A ferocious Lake Superior storm sank the freighter sank and its 29 crew members in November 1975. Singer Gordon Lightfoot wrote a ballad about it. An exploration team in 1994 captured underwater footage of the wreck.

Venture Films is seeking input for possible inclusion in the Hollywood movie. The group this week also will tour some of Port Huron's maritime attractions.

They've been trying to get this project off the ground (or lake bed, so to speak) for some years now, but nothing has ever come of it. So far, anyway.
