To most people when thinking of major marine disasters the RMS Titanic always comes to mind. While watching a WWII documentary yesterday I learnt of a loss of life at sea that multiplies the Titanic tradegy 3 times over!
In late January 1945 this sinking has become a disaster that seems now to be little remembered. The biggest ever single loss of life at sea.
