The posting by Gilbert Menezes related the story of the capsizing of the SS
Ramdas.
This occured in 1947 NOT 1949. I distinctly remember the year and the
incident, as our family was in India on home leave from British East Africa
and I was all of 8 years old. The capsizing was big news at the time. I
still remember the older folks discussing how the ship capsized. Some said
that all the passengers rushed to one side of the ship and that caused it to
capsize. Although I was very small, the story
is clear in my mind, as I was terrified about taking the ship from Goa to
Bombay after that incident.
