Was it possibly rogue waves like this, maybe even bigger.. that could
have been the death of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior?

I've heard of monster waves called the "Three Sisters" that could have
possibly caused the wreck, or at least, been a contributing factor to
the sinking?

Not sure, though. That's why I'm asking.
