#009 - The Sinking of the Oceanos

A poorly maintained ship, with a sketchy crew, and a compliment of pre-apartheid South Africans aboard? Sounds like the setup to a GREAT sea story.Some notes: 1: Joe got some basic info about "The Superliners: Twilight of an Era." That came out in 1980, and featured then-new Queen Elizabeth 2, not whatever it was he said at the time. 2: If you're the one maritime historian/doctoral student/youtuber trying to learn about the collision/sinking of the Schooner Alma A. E. Holmes and the SS Belfast, Hi! How are you doing? That part is all the way at the end of the video around 2:36:30. We hope this helps in some way, and feel free to cite us; APA has some guidelines on how to do it, and they're arcane as usual but you should get it.Got a story from public transit you'd like to share?
