The Punch Brothers use a string section to give an ethereal quality to the song

I was not expecting a pop-punk version, but the Headstones are on it

When we toured the William G Mather in Cleveland this past summer, they had a display to honor the Big Fitz. This includes oars from one of her lifeboats.

Sad that the museum had them. If the crew had had the oars, they might have made it.

This is cool. I live in Cleveland, but haven't toured the Mather in over 20-25 years (back when I was still new here). I don't recall the display of the Fitzgerald lifeboat oars. I guess this is a reason to go back.
