I did not know this. Had vaguely heard something about it, but never the details. Very ironic that a major cause to the tragedy was the result of safety regulations after the Titanic.
This one is more recent, the car ferry «Estonia» capsized in the Baltic in 1994. 852 dead. Second deadliest ship sinking in Europe after Titanic. Would not like to be on a capsizing ship!
