Passengers differ on death of Ratsuku Maru crew
On arrival of the White Star liner Homeric in New York 38 crew members of the Japanese freighter Ratsuku Maru who sank yesterday sparked debate among passengers about whether any were saved. Some saw sailors swimming or clinging to wreckage while lifeboats were not lowered. Captain John Roberts defended the rescue effort noting boats were kept ready but seas were too rough to launch. He said no bodies were seen and called it the worst maritime disaster since World War II except for those days. He detailed actions and timing from distress to sinking as the Homeric approached and attempted rescue amid rough seas and sleet.
