A fully laden SS Arthur M. Anderson makes it way out of the Duluth Harbor Tuesday, October 24, 2023.  The Anderson is famous for being the last ship to be in contact with SS Edmund Fitzgerald before she sank on November 10, 1975. Arthur M. Anderson was also the first rescue ship on the scene in a vain search for Edmund Fitzgerald survivors. The Anderson came out of the drydock of the American Ship Building Company of Lorain, Ohio in 1952 and had a length of 647 feet (197 m), a 70-foot (21 m) beam, a 36-foot (11 m) depth, and a gross tonnage of roughly 20,000 tons. She was second of eight of the AAA class of lake freighters.  During the winter of 1974–75, she was lengthened 120 feet by Fraser Shipyards, Superior, Wisconsin to an overall length of 767 feet. On the lakes for nearly 70 years, she received a five month long survey and refitting in 2019 before being returned to service. The vessel's namesake, Arthur Marvin Anderson, was director of U.S. Steel, a member of its finance committee and vice chairman of J.P. Morgan & Co. at the time. (© James D.

19810126MariemontStrike- Teachers of the Mariemont District Education Association walk a picket line outside of Mariemont High School in the early morning hours of Monday, January 26, 1981. The 1981 Mariemont teachers' strike was the longest educational work stoppage in the history of American public education. More than fifty teachers made the decision to go on strike and eventually lost their jobs during this educational crisis.
