A fact from Hannah (1849 shipwreck) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 March 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that, on April 29, 1849, the ship's master and two officers fled the Hannah in the only lifeboat after the brig was holed by ice, abandoning the passengers and remaining crew?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/March.

And then what?[edit]

This article details the wreck (but little of the ship's decades-long career before her final voyage) and immediate aftermath, but ends its narrative when the captain arrives in port. Then what? Was there a scandal at the time? Did one only arise later? Was the captain tried? Was anybody else? Did he ever get another ship? Are there memorials?

I've added a few more details. The second documentary airs in less than a week, so hopefully I'll have more answers for you. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:35, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
