About Foundered
Foundered is a catalog of disasters to passenger ships in normal service — ferries, liners, and cruise ships lost to capsize, collision, fire, grounding, and overloading — where an official marine board of inquiry established the cause. Each case is traced from the voyage to the published finding, with the documented toll and the maritime-safety record.
What you'll find here
- The vehicle, the place, the date, and the toll — stated up front, never buried
- A documented timeline, a three-act account, and exactly five contributing factors
- Who investigated and what they concluded — an accident-board probable cause, a judicial inquiry, or a coroner's finding, named precisely
- Transferable lessons, and real references from official reports and named journalism
Foundered is part of Black Box — a reference network on transport disasters resolved by an official investigation: the aircraft, trains, ships, and road vehicles that were destroyed in motion, each traced from the event to the verdict on the record.
