An interesting sideline is the sinking of the Oceanos off the South African Wild Coast in August 1991, where despite the captain and crew deserting, over 300 passengers were saved. A useful blog is http://www.oceanossinking.com/ by Hill. A book about it can be found in www.uys.com/fortress.
The most victims of a sinking was when the Wilhelm Gustloff was torpedoed in the Baltic by a Russian submarine in May 1945. Over 9,000 German refugees, mainly women and children, died.
