The Oceanos was a ship I remember with much fondness, the voyage I took on her in 1989 was briliant and her loss was a tragedy. It was one of the few shipping disasters that was photographed as it happened, and where all lives were saved. In fact, the rescue of the passengers will go down in history as a lesson on how to rescue passengers off a ship in trouble. I have had many visits to my Oceanos pages, in fact its one of the most popular search terms that comes out in my webstats, and as the years have passed many people have visited, some have created pages of their own and the Oceanos has taken her place amongst the list of famous shipwrecks. I am sure many more will come visit here, and I hope that they will leave with a better understanding of the ship and how she was lost. I did not sail on this final voyage so cannot comment on what happened at the time. All I know is that many people were there, and thanks to the bravery of those who performed that rescue, they are still here to tell us about it. I have made this main page to keep as much of the information I have easily accessible and in one place, I have also added in some external links to other websites and I hope that these will be interesting too.
