context_page_description: The following events occurred in November 1966:
context_section_description: The Great Lakes ore freighter SS Daniel J. Morrell sank in a storm on Lake Huron, killing 28 of its 29 crewmen.  Gale-force winds broke the 600-foot ship into two sections at 2:30 in the morning near Harbor Beach, Michigan, before a distress call could be sent.  Dennis Hale, the lone survivor, was rescued after 36 hours in a life raft during near freezing weather after the ship failed to arrive as scheduled.  He and three other crewmen had been the only ones able to get onto a life raft before the Morrell sank, but his companions died of hypothermia.
  Twenty-four centuries after his death in 479 BC, the tomb of the Chinese philosopher Confucius (K'ung Fu-tzu) was destroyed by members of the Red Guards in Qufu in China's Shandong Province.  The teachings of Confucius had come under criticism during the Cultural Revolution as a symbol of China's feudal past, and the students destroyed his statue and a memorial tablet, then dug up his grave "only to find nothing inside it".
