Not sure why as there have been some pretty nasty ones in the last couple of decades. 'Erika' and 'Prestige' are some recent examples which caused some serious havoc and have lead to some reshaping of the shipping industry. Anyway, how about ol' Woody Guthrie and 'the sinking of the reuben james'. A mighty fine song. Seems like they largely stopped writing songs about ships sinking after WWII.

The "Edmund Fitzgerald" cannot be beat no matter who sings it, but Lightfoot sets the standard. "The Lighthouse's Tale" was the first song I ever heard Nickle Creek sing. I was never so astounded by my first listen of an act as this one. Remains my favorite to this day of theirs. I am sounding too agreeable on here lately, but this list is good.
