The Edmon Fitzgerald comes to mineAn ore ship that despaired on the great lakes.
The Edmond Fitzgerald "may have split up, it might have capsized, it may have dove deep and took water"(Gordon Lightfoot, "The Wreak of the Edmond Fitzgerald"). The luxury liner Normandie was converted to a troop carrier in WW II. The Normandie burned and later capsized while tied to the dock in New York Harbor. Sabotage was suspected but never proved.
