A ceremony in Detroit is paying homage to sailors lost on the Great Lakes on the 34th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The Detroit Historical Society's Dossin Maritime Group is hosting the ceremony Tuesday at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle.
The ceremony will feature Great Lakes ballads, an honor guard, the reading of names, a prayer for lost mariners and other tributes.
The tribute is focusing on the sinking of the ore freighter Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975 and the sinking of the railroad car ferry Marquette & Bessemer No. 2 in 1909. The latter ship disappeared on Lake Erie after setting sail from Conneaut, Ohio, with 32 lives lost.
