Thanks Paul! I didn't know about that accident. After a quick google I found it to be the "Clelia II". It looked hauntingly familiar. Actually, we met this ship while sailing through the Neumayer Channel, a "fjord" close to the British base at Port Lockroy. Here's one pic of her that I took in the passing: http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/displayimage.php?pos=-281 We were, I dunno, maybe 15 or 20 people standing on deck to absorb the spectacular view. On the Clelia, there are only two people outdoors, both of them in orange clothing, probably crew. I recall us sniggering and shaking heads at the ship's customers for not making the most of the moment. The Clelia is a much bigger ship than the one we were on. :-) Damn, I'm glad we didn't meet any freak waves...
