[edit] Naming

I believe the article on the ship should be moved to Struma (ship) and Struma should be a disambiguation page. A Google search shows that the ship is indeed what's most referenced in English, but after all, it's named after the river. I'm not that confident, however, and I'd like to hear other opinions before actually undertaking anything. → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov → 17:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I wrote most of this page. I don't object to your proposal. --Zero^talk 00:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Statement?

"This was the largest maritime loss of civilian life during World War II." I believe this statement is incorrect, as the sinking of german refugee ships in 1945 (Whillhelm Gustloff, ~9000 dead, Goya ~7000 dead) caused far more deaths. Objections?

Agree. It may be true that the cited authors claim it to be "the largest maritime loss of civilian life during World War II" but it is not an accurate claim. See for example the entries on Wilhelm Gustloff (ship), Cap Arcona and Junyō Maru which had far higher fatalities. Better to tone down such strong claims. --mervyn 08:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
