SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth, I thought it was amazing that so much shipping of the day was lost to abandonment by the crews. Can you imagine being one of the shippers trying to decide whether or not to serve the area?

Capt Seid Waddell - it definitely makes you wonder how they ever made a profit from the business.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth, I have an idea that there were a lot of bankruptcies. You can't lose too many ships and still stay in business.
