In November 1913 a brutal storm would strike the Great Lakes, with multiple ships lost or heavily damaged, and over 250 killed, this remains the worst storm in the history of the Great Lakes. This episode itself took multiple recording sessions, and days just to put together, as I was researching as I went along. There is also an extremely early recording of a song I am working on near the end. 

Trying a new show notes format where I use hyperlinks to link to my sources when you click on the corresponding text. Let me know if it works or not, I'm trying to clean up show notes area by not having all these bare links lying around.

Also we have an Instagram at channel_of_catastrophe which is my main form of contact for this podcast.

On December 20, four days before Christmas 1987, an overloaded Filipino passenger ferry collided with a fully loaded oil tanker in what would become the deadliest peacetime maritime disaster to date. We will get into the background of both ships, survivor testimony, the sinking, and the aftermath. This is the blazing end of the Doña Paz.
