Casualties[edit]

We have citation conflict, I think:
- Hocking (probably copied by Haws) - "The captain, four officers and the chief steward were killed on board" Shuntien.
- Helgason - "The master [W L Shinn], 47 crew members" + gunners/prisoners picked up by Salvia, and subsequently lost.
- WikiSwire adds nothing more specific, and makes no mention of anyone killed on Shuntien.

Unfortunately none give their specific sources.
Hocking researched his book for over 15 years using, inter alia, Government sources, but prior to 1969 - some primary material has been released since then.
Helgason not clear whether this is written by him, or just (c) as publisher.
WikiSwire material in question written by constributor "RobJ".

Anyone know of reliable sources that are not just copying one of the above? Davidships (talk) 21:36, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
