With 32 stops in 10 states, from Miami to Montana, I met thousands of people and signed even more books. With a nod to the Dead: What a long, great trip it's been. THANK YOU! (2/2)

When you look at the storm data from yesterday and today, I can guarantee you two things: 50 years ago, commercial ships would still be sailing, and yesterday, none of them were. That's one of the byproducts of the Fitzgerald tragedy. (4/4)

P. 372: "The most eye-opening outcome of all these reforms: In the half century since the Edmund Fitzgerald went under, not one commercial ship has sunk on the Great Lakes...The families are acutely aware [of it], and they justly take pride in that fact." (3/4)

But after the Edmund Fitzgerald went down on November 10, 1975, the complacent shipping industry woke up. They got serious about forecasting, communicating the information to the captains, and not least, common sense. (2/4)
