re: Why was the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald such a big deal?

The song is a significant reason it is remembered. Also, it was the last significant ship lost in the Great lakes. No significant ships have been lost since then

Good question, because there were definitely worse outcomes than the Fitzgerald.

On 25 October 1918, Princess Sophia[5] sank after grounding on Vanderbilt Reef in Lynn Canal near Juneau, Territory of Alaska.[6] All 364 persons on the ship died, making the wreck of Sophia the worst maritime accident in the history of British Columbia and Alaska.[7]

So have any significant ships been lost since the EF?

You are confusing the Fitzgerald with the Titanic. The Titanic was a cruise ship with rich passengers. The Fitzgerald was just a cargo ship with regular workers when it hit the iceberg.
No no no they were cursed by a witch.

The song doesn't hurt.
Saw a video last week, Gordon had extra studio time so the guy asked him if he wanted to try the song he had been fooling around with. He was reluctant, guy tells him you have already paid for it.
The song you hear was the first take, they did others but that was the best. The drummer never heard the song before and asked what to do, Gordon said I will signal you, when to come in. A minute and 1/2 into the song the drummer thought he had forgot about him and until he points and the drummer lays down that beat.
