A note from Wikipedia re the sinking, Lightfoot, and the song:
Although the lyrics of the song memorialize the 29 lives lost in the wreck, following Lightfoot's death, the sailors are now remembered with 31 rings of the memorial bells at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy: "29 for the lives lost that day back in 1975 on Lake Superior, once for all lives lost at sea, and once for singer Gordon Lightfoot, who wrote the ballad of the ship's sinking".
