Subject: I'm Amazed

I just heard this amazing fact. During the days of wooden sailing ships the sinking rate was one ship per day. Most of those losses were unexplained. The loss today is something like one ship every 2 weeks. The stats reported didn't define what size ships were sunk although the program was about ocean going vessels and rogue waves.
