LaRena sings "The Wreck of the Asia"
The Wreck of The Asia was one of the most popular shipwreck ballads of the Great Lakes. (The Edmund Fitzgerald notwithstanding) LaRena's version uses a different tune than some. The S.S. Asia was lost on Georgian Bay on Thursday, September 14, 1882. She was carrying over 100 passengers. The ship was caught in a gale.
