Hi all,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place - it didn't seem appropriate anywhere else (not even "Which lifeboat") - anyway, the mods can move it if they see fit
I see numerous references in survivor's accounts that they had to stand in the lifeboats; e.g., I recall Ruth Becker saying that their lifefboat was so full,. there was standing room only. Surely allowing people to stand in a lifeboat is a very stupid thing to do? This would raise the centre of gravity, make the boat highly unstable and prone to tipping over!
Anyone got a view on this?
Cheers
Paul
