Fair one but rather a lot of that list of maritime disasters has white and red ensigns (UK) next to them. We obviously haven't quite got the hang of the big blue wobbly stuff.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultana_(steamboat) is well worth a read. It is well written in my opinion and the Talk page only has the usual nonsense "controversy" on it. This time it's whether to worry about SS as a naming prefix!




That's just what you'd expect, as in the 19th century Britain probably had more ocean going vessels than the rest of the world COMBINED.


The SS prefix "controversy" is a funny read on the talk page! Thanks.
