There's a one page article in the October 27th issue of Macleans magazine (page 85) on the Great Storm of 1913 in which a dozen ships sank and 250 people lost their lives on Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie, 62 years to the day earlier than the Fitz (night of November 9th into the 10th). There's an eyewitness description of
how two giant waves lifted one ship fore and aft; she split in two from the stress amidships, then sank with all hands lost.
