SS Edmund Fitzgerald [SEP] Rogue wave hypothesis
A group of three rogue waves, often called "three sisters," was reported in the vicinity of "Edmund Fitzgerald" at the time she sank. The "three sisters" phenomenon is said to occur on Lake Superior as a result of a sequence of three rogue waves forming that are one-third larger than normal waves. The first wave introduces an abnormally large amount of water onto the deck. This water is unable to fully drain away before the second wave strikes, adding to the surplus. The third incoming wave again adds to the two accumulated backwashes, quickly overloading the deck with too much water.
