Does anyone know where I could obtain a crew list for the ship? Four of my Great Grand mothers were supposedly on the ship when it sank. William, George, John and Robert Perkins. Where any bodies recovered? There is no registration of the deaths of the Perkin brothers. Caimein

wreckage n.1. The act of wrecking or the state of being wrecked.2. Something wrecked.          3. The debris of something wrecked. The title conforms to the first definition 'The act of wrecking or the state of being wrecked'.
