Shipwrecks of the Atlantic Haunting Half Century Record
A sweeping catalog of major Atlantic ship disasters over the past fifty years lists vessels such as the Cimbria Naroni c and Geiser with hundreds of lives lost. The piece notes earlier heavy losses, argues better life saving gear and discipline reduce fatalities, and mentions the Naronic as the latest feared liner. It discusses mystery surrounding many sinkings, causes ranging from collision to weather, and underscores ongoing danger at sea alongside rare miracles like the City of Paris incident.
