"And every man knew, as the captain did too,
T'was the witch of November come stealin'."

"Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?"

She was known as "The Pride of the American Flag". Each year I read this song, it grows a bit more powerfully on me. Pause a moment to reflect.

On November 10th at 7pm the 27th the "Call To The Last Watch" annual memorial service for the loss of Captain and crew will be held at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum

Thanks Paulie - I have it marked on my calendar and your timing is just right.
