There were also the main thousands who died on the Wilhelm Gustloff in 1945...and the Dona Paz ferry in the Philippines in 1987. The first one is usually discounted as it happened during World War 2, leading some commentators to say "Oh, you'd expect large casualty figures in World War 2!". The lack of knowledge of the second is puzzling. It doesn't seem to be as "sexy" as the Titanic so is ignored.
