Was that on the big lake they call Gitche Gumee?

That's what the song says

Cut and paste..
Gitche Gumee is an Ojibwa term for "big, great sea" that dates back to before the 19th century. Learn how this name evolved, what it means, and why it is still used today in the Great Lakes region.

I remember hearing that song a lot at the Public Swimming pool at the city park in Ashland Ohio. I use to ride my bike 5 miles one way to the pool everyday. My mom got me a membership every year. I loved hearing that song. This was from 1975-1980. They had a local radio station blaring from the speakers all around the pool. Those were good times.
You can't let a youngster take off like that these days. Some of the people running around our streets these days are animals..

The ship's bell is on display at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, Michigan. It was raised in 1995 and a replica bell inscribed with the names of the crew put in its place.
