Talk:SS Principessa Mafalda

Just wanted to point out a math problem with the article. It talks about 314 casualties among total passengers and crew of 1252 but then says rescue ships picked up 450 + 300 + 202 + 151 + 122 + 49 = 1274 survivors. 2.36.39.140 (talk) 13:19, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are lists at https://sites.google.com/site/mafaldasinking/survivors-victims/second-class, https://sites.google.com/site/mafaldasinking/survivors-victims/first-class, etc. Note that the Pecci family ar listed as survivors on the FirstClass page, and unknown status on the second class page.
Copying thread to article talk page. HTH. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 09:56, 10 June 2019 (UTC).[reply]
Also "Capitanio, Pietro", for example, was rescued but died on the rescue ship. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 09:59, 10 June 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Timeline error?

[edit]

In addition to the survivors > passengers + crew issue pointed out above--maybe there's a good explanation, but the apparent lack of it is disappointing for an article listed on the page--there seems to be a timeline problem: "Around 17:15 hours on 25 October 1927, ... the ship was rocked .... At 22:10, about four hours and twenty minutes after the initial accident ...." At the risk of stating the obvious, 22:10 is four hours and fifty-five minutes after 17:15, not four hours and twenty minutes. I have no idea what's accurate, and therefore will not edit the article.
