Hi!
The list of 'ship-technology' is annoying in my eyes!
On one hand it pretends to be solely about cruise ships but mixes entries to passenger ships in liner service and real cruise ships. But under inclusion of both kind of ships it lacks a number of entries of passenger ships with higher numbers of casualties.
At second it mixes war events and civilian maritime accidents and as a general compilation of losses at war and peace time it would be a totally different list.
The purpose of the list was probably just creating a nonsense list with random entries - even if it is unsustainable on closer inspection.
