THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD PLAYING CARDS

Friends of mine at an Hawaiian restaurant told me how they valued the song as well as the history of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The more research I did the more I became a fan of this memorial event. I decided to commit my art skills to reconstruct an image of that fateful day. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in a Storm November 10, 1975, in Lake Superior was the worst shipping disaster on the Great Lakes in 11 years. My digital artwork helps create a photo realistic image to visualize the concept of what those 29 brave crewmen lived through before their lives were lost forever, except now through art and Gordon Lightfoot's song, they live forever in our hearts, For your own personal art collection or as a gift, may this visual image of their ship pay tribute to them and remind us of how our own lives are fragile and valuable. Some of Gordon Lightfoot's lyrics are included.
