Mariners' Church, Detroit (Maritime Sailors' Cathedral) - REAL USA Ep. 88

Описание: "In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed in the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral." Gordon Lightfoot's single line in the smash hit song The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975 brought an otherwise rustic old stone church on Jefferson Avenue in downtown Detroit to world recognition. Yet despite the notoriety of the song, not everyone realizes that Mariners' Church is a real place that has stood (at the time of this writing) for roughly 150 years. Today the little stone church still serves the maritime community of the Great Lakes, though now surrounded by glass and steel high-rise buildings and the entrance to the tunnel to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Though we were not able to go inside on this trip, we would very much like to get the opportunity in the future to take you inside this historical church.
