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?
