More of a comment but perhaps another hook can be proposed here? I just read the article and I thought the fact that the death toll was unknown because many of the passengers weren't in the manifest than the survivors being rescued by its sister ship (which I assume is not an uncommon occurrence in sailing).

The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the third reference. A QPQ is not needed. I am approving ALT1 which is directly cited. SL93 (talk) 18:53, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
