The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
T'was the witch of November come stealin'

What we really learned from the song was that the cook was a lazy mofo.

If I'm not mistaken, no bodies were recovered at the time but years later someone dove the wreck site and found a skull.

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashin'
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind

November is referred to as "The Month of Storms" on the Great Lakes. The storm that hit when the Fitzgerald went down was one of the biggest, and the worst that Captain McSorley said he had ever seen. In the Fitzgerald's storm, winds as fast as 45 knots were reported, with waves as high as thirty feet. Both water pumps on the Edmund Fitzgerald were damaged, and the lifeboats were destroyed by the force of the storm.

the most common theories.
A wave engulfed the ship, pushing the front of the ship underwater. The ship then hit ground, and broke in two...this may be why the two portions of the ship are so close.
Waves lifted both ends of the ship (bow and stern), but the center of the ship containing the cargo was not held by a wave, so the overload forced the center downward, sinking and/or breaking the ship in two.
Bottoming out/grounding. This could have very well happened near Six Fathom Shoal.
Faulty hatch covers *this theory has been disproven by research and expeditions
Previous structural damage may have caused the sinking.
Huge waves swamped the ship and it sank. Many people call these huge waves (so big they are detected by radar) the Three Sisters.
A huge wave rode up between two swells and the ship snapped in half.

At seven pm a main hatchway caved in, he said

That's the best line in the song. Just fricking brutal.
