40 years ago tonight Timeline of the wreck of SS Edmund Fitzgerald – MDW229 – Mike Dell’s World

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Tonight I talk about the wreck of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald Timeline: NOVEMBER 9 8:30 AM The Edmund Fitzgerald is loaded with taconite pellets at Burlington Northern Railroad, Dock 1. Superior, Wisconsin The ship is scheduled to transport the cargo to Zug Island on the Detroit River. 2:20 PM The Fitzgerald departs Lake Superior en route of Detroit with 26,116 tons of taconite pellets. 2:39 PM The National Weather Service issues gale warnings for the area which the Fitzgerald is sailing in. Captain Cooper on the Anderson radios a freighter (the Edmund Fitzgerald) that he spots. 4:15 PM The Fitzgerald spots the Arthur M. Anderson some 15 miles behind it. NOVEMBER 10 1:00 AM Weather report from the Fitzgerald. The report from the Fitzgerald shows her to be 20 miles south of Isle Royale. Winds are at 52 knots, with waves ten feet in height. 7:00 AM Weather report from the Fitzgerald. Winds are at 35 knots, waves of ten feet. This is the last weather report that the Edmund Fitzgerald will ever make. 3:15 PM Captain Jesse Cooper, (J.C.) of the S.S. Arthur M. Anderson watches the Fitzgerald round Caribou Island and comments that the Fitzgerald is much closer to Six Fathom Shoal than he would want to be. 3:20 PM Anderson reports winds coming from the Northwest at 43 knots. 3:30 PM Radio transmission between the Fitzgerald and the Anderson Captain McSorley (C.M.) to Captain Cooper (C.C.): C.M.: “Anderson, this is the Fitzgerald. I have sustained some topside damage. I have a fence rail laid down, two vents lost or damaged, and a list. I’m checking down. Will you stay by me til I get to Whitefish?” C.C.: “Charlie on that Fitzgerald. Do you have your pumps going?” C.M.: “Yes, both of them 4:10 PM The Fitzgerald radios the Arthur M. Anderson requesting radar assistance for the remainder of the voyage. Fitzgerald: “Anderson, this is the Fitzgerald. I have lost both radars. Can you provide me with radar plots till we reach Whitefish Bay?” Anderson: “Charlie on that, Fitzgerald. We’ll keep you advised of position.” About 4:39 PM The Fitzgerald cannot pick up the Whitefish Point radio beacon. The Fitzgerald radios the Coast Guard station at Grand Marais on Channel 16, the emergency channel. Between 4:30 and 5:00 PM The Edmund Fitzgerald calls for any vessel in the Whitefish Point area regarding information about the beacon and light at Whitefish Point. They receive an answer by the saltwater vessel Avafors that the beacon and the light are not operating. Estimated between 5:30 and 6:00 PM Radio transmission between the Avafors and the Fitzgerald. Avafors: “Fitzgerald, this is the Avafors. I have the Whitefish light now but still am receiving no beacon. Over.” Fitzgerald: “I’m very glad to hear it.” Avafors: “The wind is really howling down here. What are the conditions where you are?” Fitzgerald: (Undiscernable shouts heard by the Avafors.) “DON’T LET NOBODY ON DECK!” Avafors: “What’s that, Fitzgerald? Unclear. Over.” Fitzgerald: “I have a bad list, lost both radars. And am taking heavy seas over the deck. One of the worst seas I’ve ever been in.” Avafors: “If I’m correct, you have two radars.” Fitzgerald: “They’re both gone.” Sometime around 7:00 PM The Anderson is struck by two huge waves that put water on the ship, 35 feet above the water line. The waves hit with enough force to push the starboard lifeboat down, damaging the bottom. 7:10 PM Radio transmission between the Anderson and the Fitzgerald. The Fitzgerald is still being followed by the Arthur M. Anderson. They are about 10 miles behind the Fitzgerald. Anderson: “Fitzgerald, this is the Anderson. Have you checked down?” Fitzgerald: “Yes we have.” Anderson: “Fitzgerald, we are about 10 miles behind you, and gaining about 1 1/2 miles per hour. Fitzgerald, there is a target 19 miles ahead of us. So the target would be 9 miles on ahead of you.” Fitzgerald: “Well, am I going to clear?” Anderson: “Yes.

Happy Birthday Mackinac Bridge – NaPodPoMo – MDW224 – Mike Dell's World

E

I played a recording of the Ann Arbor Children's House school kids and teachers signing the Mackinac Bridge Song (which was taught to all us kids back in the day) <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> The Mackinac Bridge Song <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Chorus: Oh the Mackinac Bridge (oh the Mackinac Bridge) She’s a mighty fine bridge ( she’s a mighty fine bridge) Five hundred feet high (five hundred feet high) and five miles long (and five miles long) <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Verse 1- In the straits of Mackinac there’s about as much water as you ever saw and the folks who lived there tried and tried but the couldn’t get across to the other side, couldn’t get across without a boat or a plane couldn’t get across without out a trolley or a train couldn’t swim across it was as cold as a fridge! So they thought they better build themselves a bridge. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Verse 2- So in nineteen hundred fifty-four they started linking shore to shore from Mackinaw city to St. Ignace town, and the men on the top didn’t dare look down! In fifty-seven the work was through, and there she was all shiny and new so they had a big party and they called out loud <br /><br /><br /> “She’s the Mackinac Bridge and we are proud!”<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Chorus<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> For those who want to read about the bridge, here is link to the book of knowledge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackinac_Bridge

MDW 201 – Mike Dell’s World is back! – Mike Dell's World

E

Yup, you read that right, Mike Dell's World is back. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Kind of like the nightmare season on Dallas (the 70's TV show) where they killed off Bobby. Then a year later, they made it into a dream sequence so they bring him back. I'm doing the same thing with "Mike Dell's Audio blog". I'm killing it off and replacing it with Mike Dell's World. When I stopped doing MDW, the last show as #190. I have done 10 Audio blog episodes so the last one I did in October 2012 was 200. Today's episode is 201. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Thanks for listening! <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> -Mike<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> *** No podcasts, or podcasters were harmed in the making of this episode. :)

MDW 192 – Stick your finger in your eye – Mike Dell's World

E

I talk about my decision to go for contact lenses. I've worn glasses most of my life and for the last couple of years, I've worn bifocals and had a separate pair of "computer" glasses, prescription sun glasses and even a pair of cheaters (the reading glasses you get at drug stores). When I was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, I forgot my glasses case in the car I was driving. Instead of buying 2 new pairs of glasses, I will go for contacts. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I'm thinking with contacts I should be able to get away with just a set of weak cheaters (maybe) for reading small type and then I can wear some cool "normal" sunglasses. I guess I will see if I am able to stick my finger in my eye :) <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> -Mike

Mike Dell’s World #190 – Podcaster or Broadcaster? – Mike Dell's World

E

Today I talk about the blog post over at Mike Dell's World where I wonder if the word "Podcast" has run is course. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I have re-branded this show as an "online radio show" and I am a Broadcaster because of it. Read the post and listen to the show to hear more. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I had breakfast this morning with Keven Reeves and a bunch of other geeks at the Traverse City Geek Breakfast. It was a great time! <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I played some of Kevin's old music (from 2005 and 2006) in this show. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Wasted, Shine and Throw Me A line all from Music Alley and available other places I'm sure. Kevin just put out a new Album (if people still use that term) with his group "Crater Maker" which you can find at Amazon: amzn.to/zpRBbs and CD Baby: bit.ly/zBrfI6. Kevin is working on another album of his own music (pop/rock) that should be out sometime this year. He's also playing some local gigs. I need to get out and see him live again! <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Catch me LATER!<br /><br /><br /> -Mike
