Thank you, Dave. I told myself I wouldn't waste my time on shipwrecks, because around here they were a dime a dozen. But then I learned more about this one.
Great article. The song, "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzerald," keeps playing in my mind as I read this. This wreck needs a song, too. . . I think the central coast needs more sea shanties.
Well, umm, I actually did consciously put Gordon Lightfoot on the turntable a couple of times while I worked on this story. I do think a proper lyricist could make poetry out of the sinking of Los Angeles, but that poet certainly isn't me.
Wow, Joe! I had chills the whole reading! Great research and writing work!

That song has been going through my head for days. Even while dishwashing, lol.
