		It would appear that the loss of the Wilhelm Gustoff was not only the worst wartime martime disaster; but the worst one in history period.
		I've been studying maritime history for years and had never even heard of the Wilhelm Gustloff until recently.
		It just seems very odd to me that such a disaster (with easily three or four times the death toll than on the Titanic) is so hard to find information on.

		The ship was part of the greatest marine rescue and evacuation operation in history, and carried 6,600 people (by the most conservative estimates; some say over 10,000 -- on a ship designed to carry under 2,000), mostly women and children fleeing from the terror of an advancing Red Army.
