Why so big a crew, what did it hit a russian sub, most unlikely.
A Unidentified floating object ?

Having gave it some thought, I came to the conclusion the ballast had been
pumped out the ship more than likely had deck cargo, which did not help
stability, the action of waves hit the ship from the beam, did they lose
ballast in order to come in on a low tide condition, or by negligence
pumping out to much of ballast, causing it to turn over.
