The International Transport Federation estimates that each year 2000 seafarers lose their lives at sea or on board ship, making this the most dangerous occupation in the world. This book describes a selection of twentieth century shipping disasters and their causes, the most important being: public perception of risk (perceived to be low whereas air travel is seen as a high risk activity) and the absence of any effective international regulatory system.
