We're sorry, but once again there were so many sinkings, explosions, pirate attacks, pirate captures, fires, cargo mishaps, artillery battles on the water & other disasters at sea that we do not have room to print even the highlights this month. 100's of people lost their lives at sea this month!! But you can read all this month's disasters at our special Internet web feature which provides full details of each event -- including the oil washing ashore on the Galapagos Islands from the grounded Ecuadorian-flag tanker. Indeed, you will see that it has been a very exciting month at sea.

Our Daily Vessel Casualties & Pirate Activity Database is updated for you twice daily! You can also search ship wrecks & losses of the past in our extensive index with thousands of listings.

Bookmark the site and visit every day! Thousands of visitors can't be wrong! This has become one of the most popular maritime sites on the Internet.

NOTE: The historic dangers of carriage by sea continue to be quite real. Shippers must be encouraged to purchase high quality marine cargo insurance from their freight forwarder or customs broker. It's dangerous out there.
