Sometime back, I saw a program on either PBS or Discovery Channel, maybe Nat Geo (???) where sad they are now sure to a forensic certainty that the doomed tanker on Lake Superior was lifted by two unusually large waves, following each other in close succession, with just enough space between them to allow the long suspended hull to crack due to lack of support. The program was before I had ever heard of the term "rogue wave"...but it's certainly possible that that's what they were - - gonna do a bit more research on this now. I do remember hearing that Superior is the most treacherous of the Great Lakes...
