There is an upcoming event at Minnesota Lakes Maritime Museum and Gardens in Alexandria that I am planning to attend. It is from 5-6:30 on Wednesday, June 8th and it is being put on by Alexandria Community Education. Mike Roberts was the keeper of Split Rock Lighthouse until it was deactivated in 1969. What he is going to be talking about is the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and also his interview with the only survivor of the Daniel J. Morrell shipwreck in Lake Huron.
Tickets are only $13 and may be purchased online or at Alexandria Community Education.
