I grew up in Duluth. I remember when I was young and a storm created waves coming off Lake Superior that were easily 25 feet high as they crashed into the light house at the end of the pier. They say that iron ore ships in early winter can be tossed about by swells as high as 30 feet or more. There is a phenomenon known as"Three Sisters" where 3 waves hit a ship in quick succession, but each 1/3 larger then the last. It's believed that may be what caused the SS Edmund Fitzgerald to sink.
