It took the sinking to move the ferry administration today, to finally agree to the union's ongoing request that would allow the crew to sleep above the water line the same as the passengers. Sad that it took this disaster to finally remove that bit of archaic crap.

I'm sure he fellow who suggested the ship's name in my previous post is particularly happy about that. He was trapped in his cabin by a fallen locker for awhile, while the water broke through his cabin's bulkhead. It was chest deep before he managed to get to the deck above.
