I know the Great Lakes can be as turbulent as an ocean. I understand why the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. But there is no point of reference for height.

Edmund Fitzgerald

En route to a steel mill near Detroit, she was caught the next day in a severe storm with near-hurricane-force winds and waves up to 35 feet (11 m) high. Sometime after 5:30 p.m., Edmund Fitzgerald reported being in difficulty; at 7:10 p.m., Captain McSorley sent his last message, "We are holding our own".
