Description:
Was it a bureaucratic whitewash or "peril of the sea?" In view of the speed the ship was travelling in a terrible snow storm how could the captain escape rebuke? With over 35 lives lost why was so little ever written about it? Was it because, unlike the Titanic, there were no survivors of the Princess Sophia?
