I remember reading about that little incident when I was a kid, and just learning about the Bismarck.
At the time, I couldn't help but wonder if those poor guys on the sailing ship were saved? Or if they were "posted missing" like countless other 19th Century sailors? There's something scary about being in midocean with just a wooden hull and no GPS, radar, or EPIRB's.
