estonia (ship)

M/S ESTONIA M/S Estonia was a Baltic Sea cruiseferry, that sank in 28 September 1994. 852 of the 989 people on board died in the disaster. The ship was listing because of poor cargo management. The bow visor separated at most likely 01:15. Before that, multiple metallic bangs were heard by...

At the moment I’m working at a research about the Estonia victims and survivors — a lot of material can be found on internet, including the statements of most of the survivors (at this site — Untitled Document). Amongst other things, I found also some documentaries. One is “Estonia, the...

I've been looking for ages for books on the Estonia disaster. I know of one book 'The Hole; another look on the sinking of the Estonia' but that book is mostly on theories about what made the Estonia sink. I'm looking for books on the sinking itself, survivor accounts, how people reacted, what...

One of the closing quotes from a survivor on this tragedy was: "There weren't many heroes at all that night and I wasn't one of them." This was more or less repeated by the few survivors that were interviewed for the programme as they told how they managed to escape the sinking and capsizing...

OK, this will be the fifth attempt at uploading just one, simple picture. Taken in mid-March, this is the main Estonia Memorial in Tallinn, close to the port where the last voyage began.

Whilst searching for memorial locations in Estonia, I came across a website which has a full passenger and crew list of the Estonia disaster. It's the first time I have seen a list. http://muhu.www.ee/ms_estonia/ Early list dated 30.9.1994, carrying 1,023 names...

It's hard to believe that 10 years allready have passed. I was only 12 years old when Estonia sank, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I think everybody knows where they were or what they were doing when they heard the news about the disaster. It is hard to believe that such a huge...

Today is the ninth anniversary of the sinking of the estonia and the lost of 852 lives. Let's take a moment to remember the victims who lost their lives. And hope the real cause is revealed.

I found a newspaper cutting, Express and Star, dated 26th July 1995: WIDOWER IN £40,000 DIVE TO FIND BODY A desperate husband whose wife died in the Estonia ferry disaster spent more than £40,000 on a clandestine diving operation in a bid to find her body. Peter Barasinski decided he had...

Are they going to make a move about the ferry estonia? Why you might ask well a large loss of life(859 i think),fast sinking (0:35 for a 15,000 ton ship now thats fast)and a cover up (of the truth) i think that will be a good move

Heres the drawing that was asked for:

Recall the ferry Estonia, whos bow was wrecnched loose in a storm, and sank with over 900 souls? I have read there was some coverup in the investigation- and massive ammounts of gravel have been dropped upon the wreck. Were family members requests of recovering the bodies of victims ever...
