| Message | I found this site looking up information on a story I saw on the 8/8/91 Prime Time Live ABC news magazine, on a videotape I was digitizing to DVD-R with a DVD recorder. The tape was one of many I made, then forgot about. The news story had some great video of the Oceanos sinking, all stamped ABC Exclusive. The captain of the Oceanos looked very professional in his uniform during his interview via satellite with Sam Donaldson. Trouble is, the interview came after other maritime experts blasted the Oceanos crew's conduct. An incident almost 16 years ago, and someone is still keeping the Oceanos story alive, very unusual when most news stories have a shelf life in months unless they involve wars or 9/11. Keep up the good work. |

| Message | Great website! I'm glad you had the courage to post this. What a trial this must have been for you. My family makes their living on the sea as fisherman, so we have dealth with death and loss due to the sea. When I was a young girl and would go fishing with my father we would find dishes and such from the Andrea Doria. We still do like to cruise, and realize that the sea "doth have her fury." LOL Well, nicely done and thank you for contributing! Hope you are well!  |

| Message | Hi Todd, Thanks so much for your message and for visiting my blog, today I was thinking that creating the blog seems to be all in vain, but when I get messages like yours I realise that there are those out there that appreciate reading about it. Thanks again. |

| Message | Just want to say how very much I've enjoyed visiting your site (or blog). Although not being "of the sea" I nevertheless am fascinated with Ocean Liners and Cruise Ships; their design, their safety (or lack thereof), their successes as well as their tragedies. The only ship on which my wife and I have sailed, the Explorer of the Seas, is at 138,000 tons almost 20 times larger than was the Oceanos. I should have been born shortly after the turn of the last century of the gentried set as I am quite comfortable in formal surroundings and appreciate what I refer to as a more "civilized" way of life when a gentleman truly insisted on "women and children first" and if necessary, the Captain went down with his vessel. Sadly, even in April of 1912 many of the crew of the Titanic didn't conduct themselves any differently than those of the Oceanos. Alas at age sixty and definitely not being of the gentried set, I am forced to rely on my own memories of our cruise until perchance we are fortunate enough to repeat the experience, hopefully without the concomitant drama associated with a "Final Voyage." |
