the jinx of the "unsinkable" ship

'Dit schip kan niet zinken!' "Het is gemaakt van ijzer, Sir - ik verzeker u, het kan."98.67.187.186 (talk) 06:52, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inquest

Was there no inquest? - wloveral — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.105.203.119 (talk) 11:50, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They didn't have any survivors and no traces at all of the wreck (a lifebelt washed ashore in the Faroes a couple of months later), while it was clear from the distress calls that the ship had indeed struck an iceberg. Not much material for an inquest there. 195.67.149.173 (talk) 10:32, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A ship that took four hours to sink should have given crew and passengers plenty of time to take to the lifeboats. And by 1959 lifeboats would have had emergency radios. It says that conditions were the worst seen. Is it known what the conditions were? Was there a storm that could have swamped the lifeboats, or just heavy fog?
