Continued with wreck research all day today. Again, good experience in researching different types of wreck and what sort of information is available. Bit sad coming across some of the more tragic events such as SS Mendi, this one not just for the loss of life but the reaction of the Captain who was to blame, not making any effort to help with the rescue causing such high loss of life. Searching the web on this one shows just how much interest there can be in such tragedies with numerous researches conducted into the event by South Africans interested in the history.
