    Worst Loss of Life at Sea
    Although ships like Titanic, Lusitania, etc are better known, I believe the single worst loss of life at sea was a German ocean liner near the end of world war II. Does anyone know the name of this vessel, and where it occurred?

    "The sinking of the Wilhem Gustloff ranks as probably the largest loss of life in a single sinking in maritime history." See: Wilhelm Gustloff (ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
