2? 1? The suspense is killing me and I don't want to google it to ruin your response.
At least 3 of the 4 sank.
However, they refitted them constantly, changing the profile of the ships, even though they were the same size and original design.
I am left wondering if there were actually 3 sister ships or not.
Huh that's sure interesting and a story not told by mainstream history!
It's a thinker.
These organizations were already old and very international because they grew from comfort and luxury travel for those transporting gold from Australia to Liverpool and people from Liverpool to Australia. They helped bring something like 500,000 people.
Then, the gold rush hit Alaska and they switched routes.
During war time, it was common to refit them as troop carriers.
They were also accused of smuggling weapons and contraband.
Today, the conglomerate that owns the remains of these cruise lines is Carnival, with international relationships that predate many governments; plugged into local power circles along their routes.
It's some food for thought.
I have more questions than answers, but the truth is in there somewhere in there and if you pinpoint it, certain groups get upset.
