I believe that the Discovery channel special mentioned that some folks had concluded that the crew was negligent in making sure those covers were sealed properly. Erica
As I remember that Discovery Channel special those 'some folks' was the official board of inquiry which investigated the sinking. They could find no other cause so they blamed the hatch covers!
On the History Channel I remember watching a series on shipwrecks and they did the Yarmouth Castle. That shipwreck was a sin...trapped people burned to death before the eyes of the survivors in life boats, the captain taking off in 'his' lifeboat... and of course GL waxed it all in his song.
JUST AMAZING!!!!
