Celebrating Elkton Michigan History - Photos and Moments That Shaped a Small Town’s Identity - Video

We make a point of driving through Elkton every time we come up to the upper Thumb from downstate. Unlike many other small towns, it’s still very vibrant with business, and I like its colorful murals. (You have to go looking for them) We bought our refrigerator and stove from Thumb Hardware and had lunch at the Hitching Post after a round of golf at Century Oaks Golf Club. I’ve touched on topics…

If you had unlimited funds to fix it up, this island could be spectacular. Look, it has a lighthouse. The current owner started to renovate, didn't get very far, and clearly gave up.

There's more than one house on it. Located just a few miles offshore from Rockport Harbor and north of the charming town of Alpena, MI this 227-acre island is in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron, offering over 10,000 feet of pristine waterfront and panoramic views. $3.699m.

This could be paradise.

Now, this nice big brick house looks like it's a least a duplex. Bring your friends and family.

Middle Island is home to the historic Middle Island Lighthouse, a majestic 76-foot beacon built in 1905 to guide ships safely through Thunder Bay—a region once infamous for its treacherous waters.

The original 12-room lighthouse keeper’s quarters and the adjacent Fog Signal Building, once used to emit warning blasts in heavy fog, have been converted into a welcoming lodge that sleeps ten—a perfect retreat for guests or potential eco-tourism.

The lighthouse, decommissioned in the mid-20th century, remains fully intact and offers incredible observation vistas that span miles in every direction.

They started to frame out the interior. I think that I would have to take some of it down, b/c it looks like they were going to cover up the brick walls.

Not sure, but this looks like a little guest cabin.

They've got a cute bench here and a little birdhouse in the tree.

It has secure access by boat- look at how long the pier is.

There are also hiking trails and a hunting blind to observe the wildlife.

I don't know if the vehicle is included, but the island is pretty big, so it's needed to get around in.

What a piece of property- the buildings are all in one place and the rest is just infinite potential. 227 acre island.

Non ti odio perché a differenza tua non ho mai cambiato idea su di noi nemmeno quando le cose non andavano bene. Non ti odio perché anche se sapevi quello che stavi facendo e sapevi quanto mi avrebbe ferita nella mia testa non sarebbe nemmeno nato il pensiero di farlo a te. Non ti odio perché se è stato orribile quello che mi hai detto chissà quanto lo è stato nella tua testa. E no, non mi vendicherò, perché è evidente che avevi bisogno di amore, ma ricordati che come mi dicesti " fai del bene perché ti torna sempre indietro" , sappi che lo stesso vale anche per il male. Un giorno capirai i tuoi errori, ma sarà troppo tardi. Il tuo orgoglio, il voler sempre avere ragione, incolpare perennemente gli altri , trattare male le persone e non assumerti le responsabilità ti farà perdere ogni persona buona che avrai accanto. Sarai destinato a cercare le persone per sempre, perché incapace a stare da solo. Buona fortuna, A.

Thursday Bangers, Memorial Day Edition

I was tagged by @woundedsoul12 for this week's Thursday Bangers!

Rules for your Copy and Paste: Free form a blurb or drawing based on the weekly lyrics prompt. It doesn't have to include the prompt just whatever you're inspired to write, write it! Then tag some friends so they can play as well. It doesn't have to be finished on Thursday just post it whenever you can (you have a whole week between Thursdays).

This week's song was picked by @fiberpunk027:

I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh, take me back to the night we met. - The Night We Met, Lord Huron

Oh my GOD was this week hard. I had two approaches right away; one filled the prompt perfectly but the other was more emotional. I decided on combining them, but wrote the second part first... and then I couldn't write the first part. This is the compromise I came up with, minus quite a few keysmashes filling in my original place-holder brackets.

Note: Sofia de Riva isn't Rook, but rather Viago's liaison to the Lighthouse--and younger half-sister. She fell hard for Davrin, and him for her. (AO3)

Sofia stared blankly at the empty hearth and hugged her knees to her chest. It was never cold at the Lighthouse, but she was used to having a fire here. She was used to having him here.

“I wish I could go with you all tomorrow.” “No, it’s better this way. If something happened to you, I… I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.” “I’m just as involved in all of this as the rest of you.” “That’s not the point. And yes, I know you can take care of yourself. It’s just…” “Just what?” “I can’t lose you. I shouldn’t have fallen for you in the first place, but now that I have, I can’t risk losing you.” It'd been weeks since the mission to Tearstone Island. Weeks since the team returned at half its usual strength. Weeks since she lost him forever. A single tear escaped to fall down her cheek, and she swiped it away angrily. She was a de Riva, dammit. She was better than this. It was a weakness, and she should have known better. The door opened behind her; she ignored it and continued to stare at the hearth. “So, this is the famous Lighthouse,” Viago said from the door, and Sofia jumped out of her skin, scrambling up from the chair to face her Talon. “You left so abruptly after your last report, and I haven't had a chance to follow up until now.” “Viago, I'm so sorry, I– I was going to come back tomorrow. They just rescued Rook this morning, I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet, I thought–” He held one hand up to silence her. “I understand, do not worry.” He paused. “What I do not understand is why you did not tell me about you and the Grey Warden.” “How did you… Teia.” “Yes. She told me after you left. She thinks that is why you returned here so quickly. Has there… been any sign of him?” Sofia shook her head, her dark hair falling across her face and hiding the tears that began to fall. “Nothing,” she whispered. And then the dam broke. “Why hasn't there been any sign of him, Vi?” she sobbed. “There's just no sign of him, not even a body. They came back and told me what happened but there was no body. No proof. I thought… I thought he might still come back. Rook came back, so why didn't Davrin?” “Come here,” he said gently, and Sofia threw herself into his arms and bawled like a child. “Shh, shh, mi sorellina, it will be okay,” he murmured. “Sofi, it will pass. It will take time, but it will pass.” She sniffed and laughed. “He called me that once. No one's ever called me Sofi but you, and when he did it it caught me off guard so badly, I think he thought I was angry. I wasn't, though. I loved it. I loved him." The weight of the word settled in, and her eyes grew wide. “Oh, Maker, Vi,” she gasped. “I never told him. I loved him and I never told him and now he's gone forever and I'll never be able to tell him.”

IDK, I just had this idea of Viago actually having some emotions, even if he'll never show them when there are witnesses. He and Sofia weren't raised together, but they share a mother and she was his fledgling from the moment she joined the Crows, so they've been together long enough to have that family bond in spite of now growing up together.

Anyway, it's Monday night so it's so late in the game that I don't think there's anyone left to tag, not that I can usually remember names after going through everything to get this formatted. >.< At any rate, if you see this, haven't played yet, and want to play, consider yourself tagged!!

Six Seven Song Soundtrack - Ronan Trevelyan

Inspired by @in-the-drowning-deep for making a playlist for their Rook & Inquisi. Ofc I had to make this for Ronan too.

Ro's Spotify playlist here - my account also has Euzen and Asha's playlists, so I have no qualms if ppl look thru my profile to find them! (not that I'm expecting anyone to tbh lol)

1. An event that defines your character’s past

Can't Cheat Death - The Ballroom Thieves

We are painted with the fear that if The sea recedes it never comes back But there are two things I know for sure I will be free, I will be free, I will be free And you can't cheat death

Ronan is a reckless little shit who tried to get out from familial duties by becoming a pirate. He had a good few years until his captain and rest of his crew were killed by a rival. He was left alive and ransomed back to his family who sent him to the conclave to gain back their favour.

2. How others see them

Troublemaker - Grizfolk

Can I put you in my pocket and save you for later? Cause you're too good to lose; you're the flavor I savor Can I put you in my pocket and save you for later? Cause you're the trouble I want, you're my troublemaker

According to Grizfolk themselves, "This song is a testament to living life with vices. Whether that’s a women, or anything else" which suits Ronan to a T.

3. How they see themselves

Pain - Sleeping Wolf

Climb to the dark Fire in my arms Keep the pain comin' Shot through the heart Broken and scarred Keep the pain comin'

Lil' fucker is a bit of a masochist tbh. He also doesn't back down, even when he really ought to.

4. Their closest relationship (platonic or romantic)

Mi Capitán - Kiltro

Do I need you, my hope, my gun? Won't think, won't run my weathered eye Said I heed you, your every need My heart, my liege, mi capitán // 'Cause these hands Build and break, just what you ask they do And these bones Are etched in scars there left defending you

His relationship with Asha as his captain. He would do anything for her, for good or ill. Mostly ill, as it got her killed and almost got him killed too.

Fight for Me - AlicebanD

I'll cover up your eyes and make you work I'll rob you of your soul and make it worse I'll take away your dignity And make you feel worth less to me I'll spit upon your sanity, and god, I'll make it hurt

One more song to illustrate Ronan's relationship with Asha. It's not very healthy sometimes.

Pretty much half of Ro's playlist are songs about Asha and him so it was very hard to choose just two!

5. A major fight scene

Battle Cry - Shayfer James

Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound They've come before and many more will try to strike me down Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar And if you make it out alive, the devil will be waiting by your door

Ro's kinda terrifying to fight tbh. Pain rarely phases him, so his enemies are usually surprised by how viciously he can fight even when he's bleeding everywhere lmao

6. End credits

Vide Noir - Lord Huron

So what if I'm living out past the edge? So what if I never come back again? Many evils have I enjoyed Prowling the night, raising hell with the boys Getting high on a pure, black void

Let's go with something a little less energetic. I can imagine this playing as he rides his ship into the sunset haha!

Nostalgia is a sweet place for a poet and writer to be in. But it's an indulgence; a distraction. You can't live in a distraction.

[holdingup-fallingsky]

As today is the 49th anniversary of the sinking of the Mighty Fitz, I wanna talk about the facts of what happened. I've been hyperfixated on this shipwreck for a full year now, so if you'd like to learn more about it, please keep reading.

I feel that a good way to present this is with the Gordon Lightfoot song as an outline, as it's what most people are familiar with. When it was written in November and December of 1975 after Lightfoot heard about the disaster, he felt that it was his moral obligation to get the facts of the event as correct as possible. However, an official investigation would not take place until May of 1976 - it was delayed due to weather conditions - months after the song was recorded. That is why his guitarist Terry Clements convinced Lightfoot to do what his favorite author (Mark Twain) would have done; tell a story. 

Superior, they said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy. Lake Superior is the largest body of freshwater on the planet, able to fit the other four Great Lakes inside of her. She’s also the deepest, with the average depth being close to 500 ft and the deepest point being 1,332 ft deep. It is also the coldest Great Lake, the bottom clocking in at a frigid 32 degrees Fahrenheit, making it just a hair above freezing. Because of this, that means that it is too cold for bacteria to grow and makes it impossible for bodies to undergo decomposition. So, instead of float to the surface as they would in other bodies of water, the bodies of Lake Superior instead sink and remain frozen in time. As of the time that this is being written, there has only been one body found from the crew of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. It was because of the discovery of this crewman that the wreck site has been designated as a graveyard and dives to the shipwreck have been severely restricted. 

The ship was the Pride of the American Side… The Edmund Fitzgerald had many nicknames: “The Mighty Fitz”, “The Pride of the American Side”, “The Singing Ship”, just to name a few. “The Pride of the American Side” was given to her due to her size. When she was built in 1957, the specs of the ship were made so that it would challenge those of all other freighters. She would break shipping records throughout her entire career; six times, to be exact, often breaking her own records. She was given the name “The Singing Ship” because her third captain, Captain Peter Pulcer, would play music over her loudspeakers for boat watchers to enjoy, even going out on deck with a megaphone to give off facts about the ship - such as where it was headed and what it was hauling. Her fourth captain, Captain Ernest McSroely, took command in 1972. He would remain captain through the rest of her career. 

As big freighters go, it was bigger than most… The specs of the Mighty Fitz were 729’ in length, with a depth of 39’ and a draft (how much of the ship is submerged in water) of 25’. She was given such a specific length so that she could just fit in the Soo Locks - the engineering marvel that connects the Huron and Superior lakes in Sault Ste Marie, MI (pronounced “soo saint Marie”) - which had a max length of 730’. She was the largest ship on the Lakes (earning her the title “Queen of the Lakes”, a title passed on to whichever ship is the largest sailing the Lakes) until the SS Murray Bay was launched, beating her out by a foot of length. However, despite her hulking size, she was one of the fastest freighters to sail the freshwater, her top speed clocking in at 14 knots (~ 16 mph). A very impressive speed when you take into account that she weighed 13,632 tons with an empty cargo hold. 

With a crew and good captain well seasoned… It took 29 men to sail the Mighty Fitz. Michael Armagost, 37, third mate. Frederick Beetcher, 56, porter. Thomas Bentson, 32, oiler. Edward Bindon, 47, first assistant engineer. Thomas Borgeson, 41, maintenance man. Oliver Champeau, 41, third assistant engineer. Nolan Church, 55, porter. Ransom Cundy, 53, watchman. Thomas Edwards, 50, second assistant engineer. Russell Haskell, 40, second assistant engineer. George Holl, 60, chief engineer. Bruce Husdon, 22, deck hand. Allen Kalmon, 43, second cook. Gordon MacLellan, 30, wiper. Joseph Mazes, 50, special maintenance man. John McCarthy, 62, first mate. Ernest McSorely, 63, captain. Eugene O’Brain, 50, wheelsman. Karl Peckol, 20, watchman. John Poviach, 50, wheelsman. James Pratt, 44, second mate. Robert Rafferty, 62, steward. Paul Riippa, 22, deck hand. John Simmons, 63, wheelsman. William Spengler, 59, watchman. Mark Thomas, 21, deck hand. Ralph Walton, 58, oiler. David Weiss, 22, cadet. Blaine Wilhelm, 52, oiler. These are the names of all 29 men who went down with the Edmund Fitzgerald. 

When they left fully loaded for Cleveland… The final voyage of the Mighty Fitz started on November 9th, 1975. They had a cargo load of just over 26,000 tons of iron taconite. This is where we run into our first discrepancy of the song. The Fitzgerald was actually headed for a steel mill on Zug Island near Detroit where it usually made berth. However, the word Detroit doesn’t fit well within the structure of that part of the song, especially with the Canadian pronunciation of “De-troy-at” which we hear Lightfoot use later in the song. So, Lightfoot can be forgiven here.  

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound and a wave crashed over the railing. The weather conditions on Lake Superior went from bad to worse over the duration of the storm. A few hours before the Fitzgerald sank, the SS Arthur M Anderson reported at 1620 hours (4:20 pm) that winds had reached a speed of 58 knots (~67 mph) and waves reached a staggering height of 25’. The infamous Gale of November was upon them, and they were stuck in the middle of that merciless storm. 

And every man knew, as the captain did, too, ‘twas the Witch of November come stealin’. November is infamously the most difficult month of the year to be sailing the Great Lakes. An estimated 70 plus ships have been claimed by the lakes during November alone. While November gets a bad rap, these deadly storms can occur during any of the fall months. The warmer air coming up from the south clashes violently with the colder fronts from the north, culminating into deadly gales. However, the worst of these storms happen most frequently during the 11th month. The deadliest storm on record to occur on Lake Superior was that of the Mataafa Storm. Occurring on November 27th, 1905, the storm was named after the SS Mataafa, a freighter that found itself caught in the storm and a massive loss of crew, despite only running aground 700’ from shore. These infamous gales are nicknamed the “Witch of November”. 

At 7 p.m. a main hatchway caved in… Here, we run into our next, and largest, discrepancy of the song. Now, as I stated before, the song was written and recorded before an official investigation could even be launched. So, Lightfoot had to embellish a few details to finish the song. However, the U.S. Coast Guard would actually corroborate Lightfoot’s claim that the sinking of the Fitzgerald was due to water entering through the hatchways. This report would actually anger a few mariners, some even stating that it was flat out wrong. Now, in 2024, we know that it was simply not the case. In 2010, National Geographic conducted an investigation of their own on the Mighty Fitz. While they were unable to dive on the wreckage itself, they were able to use footage of the wreck taken in the 90s that was shot in High Definition. Not only did they use the footage, but the researchers interviewed Great Lakes ship captains, one of the inspectors that inspected the Fitzgerald herself, as well as a survivor of a similar shipwreck - Dennis Hale, lone survivor of the sinking of the SS Daniel J Morrell. After conducting experiments on a scale model as well as in a simulator, they concluded that the Mighty Fitz had sunk due to rogue waves - waves that can reach upwards of 60’ and were previously believed to be a myth - splitting her in half. 

Gordon Lightfoot was asked if his song could be used in the ending credits of the documentary, Lightfoot agreeing after watching the film. It was after this investigation that Lightfoot began changing the lyrics while performing the song live. No longer did a faulty hatchway cause the Fitzgerald’s demise in Lightfoot’s eyes, so the lyric was changed to “at 7 p.m. it grew darker and then…” One of the deck hands that was onboard the Might Fitz on her last voyage was Bruce Hudson. For 36 years, his mother - Ruth Hudson - had proclaimed and insisted that her son had always done his job at securing the hatchways, and that he did it with pride. In an interview with Lightfoot that same year, he said: “It wasn’t a hatchway. I don’t know what I’m gonna change [the lyrics] to, but I’m gonna change it. I hope Ruth Hudson will be around long enough to hear it, because she’s 82 and she’s worried about that all her life”. 

The captain wired in, he had water coming in… Throughout that fateful last voyage the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, she was not alone. Another freighter, the SS Arthur M Anderson was traveling a similar path as the Mighty Fitz with an end destination of Gary, Indiana. The Anderson was, at first, smaller in length than the Fitzgerald. However, after the Anderson was refitted, she would be longer than the Fitzgerald. Though, the Mighty Fitz would take the Anderson in speed as she was still the faster vessel. The two ships would stay in communication throughout the 9th and the 10th of November, their communications becoming more frequent as the storm became worse and worse. At approximately 1530 (3:30 p.m.), the Fitzgerald had radioed in to the Anderson, telling the captain (Captain Jesse “Bernie” Cooper) that his ship had taken on water and was beginning to list (the tilting of a ship to one side that is not caused by an external force). It was at this time that the Fitzgerald informed the Anderson that it would reduce speed so that it might catch up with the Anderson. An hour later, Captain McSorely of the Fitzgerald radioed Captain Cooper of the Anderson that they had lost function of their navigation equipment - namely both of their radars - and asked the crew of the Anderson to be her eyes. The ships were approximately 20 miles away from each other, well within radar range. Both captains made the decision to hug the north side of Superior, close to the Canadian shoreline so that they might have a better chance at weathering the storm before making it to the relative safety of Whitefish Bay. 

And later that night when his lights went out of sight came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Captain Cooper had stated on record that the snow had been falling so intensely that when the Fitzgerald was within 10 miles of the Anderson, the only thing that they could make out of her was her lights. At 1910 (7:10 p.m.), the Anderson radioed the Fitzgerald about a ship that was about 9 miles ahead of the Fitzgerald, stating that they were going to clear one another and did not have to worry about colliding. Offhandedly, the first mate aboard the Anderson asked “by the way, how are you making out with your problems”. Captain McSorely answered “we are holding our own”. “He showed no signs of panic,” Captain Cooper would later admit. At 1920, the crew of the Anderson could not find the Fitzgerald on radar and attempted to radio the ship. No answer came. Fearing their radio had malfunctioned, the Anderson wired another ship close by to test their comm systems. They worked just fine. At this point, the snow had stopped heavily falling and visibility opened up. The lights of the Mighty Fitz were nowhere in sight, despite being within visual distance of the Anderson. Captain Cooper gave the order to his crew to watch for a silhouette of the freighter, thinking the ship had lost power. 

Does anyone know where the love of god goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searchers all say they’d have made Whitefish Bay if they put 15 more miles behind her. According to the official U.S. Coast Guard report, the Fitzgerald was about 17 miles away from Whitefish Bay, the site of the wreck being at 46°59.9’N, 85°06.6’W. If she had maintained her top speed, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald would have made it to the salvation of Whitefish Bay in just an hour. The Fitgerald would never even send out a mayday or any indication that she was sinking. Within the blink of the Anderson’s watchful eye, the Fitzgerald disappeared. “I firmly believe that [Captain McSorely] thought that ship was gonna get him through,” Captain Cooper spoke when asked about that fateful night years later. The Anderson was the freighter to report to the Coast Guard that the Fitzgerald had gone missing after she reached Whitefish Bay at 2025 (8:25 p.m.). When Captain Cooper radioed about his fears concerning the Fitzgerald, the Coast Guard asked the Anderson if she would be willing to help with the search for the Mighty Fitz. Despite the danger of the still raging gale that claimed the Mighty Fitz, Captain Cooper agreed to aid in the search along with the SS William Clay Ford offering their help. No survivors were found, only pieces of debris from the freighter. 

And all that remains is the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters. On July 17th, 1999, all of the families of the victims claimed by the Fitzgerald’s sinking gathered on the water on the exact spot of the wreckage. This ceremony was the official consecration of the site to be a protected graveyard. No longer would anyone be allowed to dive on the site; a direct response to a voyage to the wreck in the mid-90s capturing footage of one of the bodies of a crewman. Two wreaths were tossed over the site, one donated by Gordon Lightfoot, with the names of all the 29 lost that November night. 

The church bell chimed ‘till it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. A funeral service for the men aboard the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was held at the Mariner’s Church in Detroit. Its bell rang a somber 29 times, each toll an honoring to a sailor’s soul claimed by Lake Superior that November 10th. Every year on the anniversary of the Fitzgerald’s sinking, the Mariner’s Church tolls its bell in remembrance of the men lost in the freshwater sea. On the 48th anniversary in 2023, the bell was rang an additional time, tolling 30 times. On May 1st, 2023, Gordon Lightfoot passed away due to natural causes. That additional toll was in honor of his life and all that he did to keep the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald alive, his song immortalizing the ship’s tragic end. 

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee. To this day, part of this fateful legend still survives. The SS Arthur M Anderson still serves on the very lake that claimed her sister 49 years ago. Her continued service is proof that, had the SS Edmund Fitzgerald not met her untimely demise so early in her life at the hands of the very frigid mistress that floated her cargo, she would still be its faithful servant. Every November 10th, the Anderson calls out to her sister; her horn wailing to both salute and mourn the beloved sister she honors with every trip she takes across Lake Superior. The Fitzgerald is a reminder to all of us. We do not know how long we have in this world and it could all be taken from us in an instant. Choose to live a life that you are proud of rather than one that is controlled and ruled by fear.

Petoskey stone is a rock and a fossil, often pebble-shaped, that is composed of a fossilized rugose coral. These stones are unique to the Michigan area, particularly around the city of Petoskey, which is how they got their name. They are commonly found along the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.

How about an ancient 1892 castle house in Port Huron, MI? It has 6bds, 5ba, $300K. It does need some work, but it's livable and some of the work was already started.

All stone, like a proper castle, and it has a nice entrance.

It has a large entrance hall, and they've stripped the floors. I don't think that the louvered pocket doors are original.

In this room there's a curved stone fireplace and a leaded glass window.

Here's another rounded room with a lovely brick fireplace.

And, this one has great wainscoting, leaded glass windows, and a fireplace.

Beautiful wood on the railings and stairs.

Very large landing.

There are 9 fireplaces in the house. The one in this room has been restored and the room looks finished, except for elec. outlet covers, etc.

The rooms get a lot of light. This one has another fireplace.

In this room it looks like they put up new wallboard and painted. The windows need frames, but the fireplace was restored, and it does have carpeting.

This bath was renovated in the 70s. The blue sinks are cool, but it's in need of updating.

The molded tub unit doesn't look too bad.

The house has 4 levels.

Up here, there's a faded red carpet. They did one of the walls in stone.

This large room needs work. It has a door to the tower.

It's so cool out here. I'm feeling Rapunzel vibes.

Work has started on the kitchen. Looks like the floor is in. I wonder if they planned on keeping the old cabinets. Were do those stairs go? The kitchen looks big, though.

One step down is this room. It's cute, whatever it is. Looks like they did the walls in here.

Now, this is interesting- a 2 car garage with a loft.
