Although the Edmund Fitz was headed for Detroit, not Celvleand it is still a great song. Also Lake Erie does flow into Ontario.

Being from Wisconsin and livng 5 miles from the Lake and seeing freighters come in to port on a regualr basis really makes you wonder how a ship that large could sink without a distress call going out.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was over 700 feet long 70 feet wide and 30 feet tall and it sank in less than 1 minute.
