We all know about the Titanic (Olympia) but what are some other ship disasters? Ever heard about the SS Arctic? Or how about the White Hurricane of 1913?

>>16533856>White Hurricane of 1913https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK_O9CWA1y4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A8P7qwaj10After binging a lot of videos about being a ship worker on the great lakes I have to say, what a time that was.
Yes i know about the arctic. Yet no one talks about the achille lauro and how a bunch of muslim terrorists killing a jewish passenger almost caused a war between italy and the usa.
>>16533856Mongols suffered massive disaster due to extreme weather when trying to invade Japan.Romans lost almost 400 ships and 100,000 men in a storm in 255 BC, as well as around 40 ships during the invasion of Britain in 55 BC. 15-16 AD were also bad years with Roman ships lost due to weather.

I thought maritime disasters were something of the past, from a long time ago that haven't happened in a long time. When I learned about this it really changed my perspective.
