Well, i dunno, i hope the writing makes it sound plausible, that's all i was looking for really.
Buut - if you look into the history of Maritime Law you discover that it was actually, and legally, in everyone's interests that there be no survivors... survivors could claim under a kind of compensatory finders keepers law. If there were none then the articles could be claimed by anyone as 'salvage' and the insurers would pay up immediately to the owner or shipping line. To what extent this was taken advantage of is still a controversial topic.
As for the writing (such as it is) well it has sentences at least - and i'm working a more uplifting little thing right now. It has Knights in.
no subject
