Oceanos Sinking - My Experience

On 4th August 1991 I was a passenger aboard the passenger cruise ship Oceanos which sank off Coffee Bay on the Transkei Wild Coast of Southern Africa.  I have been meaning to publish an account of what happened for a very long time, and now with blog sites making this so easy, I have started to do so.  The blog site is still under construction, and as time permits I will add to it, so bear with me while I do so.  You can see it at:


I hope you enjoy reading it.

A Really Great Blog Site To Have A Look At

This site is all about the sinking of the cruise ship Oceanos, created by Rose.  Both Rose and I were amongst the 571 passengers and crew on board at the time she sank on the 4th of August 1991. Rose has created a fantastic account of all that took place, and there are lots of photos and video links as well. Enjoy it !
