For some good explanations of the why and how she sank read the
comment in this thread from the WoodenBoat Forum.
Those by Mike Mason and John Hardemann both NA's..



Blast I left out the URL!

Mea Culpa.

Thanks Dave, impressive, the only thing that made me feel bad was, nobody
spoke about passengers;-(
On the other hand a couple of nono's who only wanted their name shown, and
thanks god a couple of people who used their brains and had expierience and
knowledge of ships.
It's always difficult to find out who's the Good, the Bad or the Ugly.
The last thing I heard was that the ship was not hit by an iceberg but by a
rock under water.
Most importent thing to me is that all people are rescued, maybe with help
of the calm weather, but so what, it was a hell of a job and I'm proud of
all the people that made this story to a good ending for the passengers and
the crew.
