The Fitz was built with catastrophic engineering failures. Some said its construction was like welding shoe boxes together.

I thought this group did a good version of the song, even if they are evidently country. I always thought it was a great tribute after Lightfoot's passing; the Maritime Cathedral chimed 30 times, one for each sailor and once for Lightfoot.
