OMG, u guys! I'm so down for this 
! The fact that the life ring and wooden plank from the SS Edmund Fitzgerald were sold at auction for $150k is just mind-blowing 
. Like, can you even imagine what it's like to hold a piece of history in your hands? It's crazy how much attention these artifacts get, especially when they're so rare 
.
And I'm also loving the fact that they got such great documentation and provenance for the auction
. It's clear that whoever owns these relics has taken good care of them, which is awesome 
. Plus, it's amazing to think about all the theories surrounding the ship's sinking - some questions are definitely still unanswered, but I love how people keep exploring those mysteries 
.
I'm also feeling super nostalgic for this
. The SS Edmund Fitzgerald has such an iconic status in American maritime history, and it's cool to see that its legacy is still being celebrated today 
. And can we talk about the bell tolling at Mariners' Church - it's just so beautiful 
. Anyway, I'm totally stoked that these artifacts are now part of a new chapter in their story

after being locked away for decades! I mean, can you even imagine what it must've been like on that fateful night? The storm was like nothing anyone had ever seen before... 
729 feet of steel just got tossed around like a toy. It's mind-boggling to think about how many lives were lost. I feel bad for the families, but at least now these artifacts are getting to be seen by the public and can serve as a reminder of that terrible tragedy 
. The fact that they sold for like $150k is just insane, I mean, I guess when you're dealing with a piece of history, the price tag just kinda jumps out at ya 
.
. You never know what kind of stories these kinds of items can tell, and I'd love to see them end up in a museum where they can be appreciated by people who care about the history.
It's like a piece of history is up for grabs, you know? 
Does anyone really think about what the crew members would do if they knew some of their ship's stuff was going to be up for auction? 
. It's crazy to think that some people are willing to pay $150k for a piece of it though... I mean, I get why collectors want these kinds of things, but $150k is just a lot 
.
That's wild! I mean, who wouldn't want to own a piece of history like that? The fact that it sold for $150k is insane! I'm glad the museum got it back, though - those artifacts are too important to be stuck in some private collector's hands. And can you imagine what kind of story it would tell if they ever figured out what really happened to the Edmund Fitzgerald?
