Ship disaster

The evacuation efforts in Lebanon bring back memories of the sinking of a ship loaded with refugees and wounded soldiers.
......................................
70 minutes after being struck the Wilhelm Gustloff sank in a depth of 45 meters (150 feet). The sinking remains the worst disaster in maritime history, leaving some 9,000 people dead, more than half of them children.
