I'm reading 'Torpedo Junction' and at least off the US coast, they ships would scatter & run towards the coast. They though it would be better to be aground on a shoal than at the bottom.. Vessels would be dispatched from various harbors if a SOS was received but sometimes it would be weeks until survivors were found.. I'm only in chapter 3, so it may have changed later on...
