Excellent. If you are willing/able to add this thing as a unit like DivingDuck's debris I would really be interested in seeing different uniforms for the human figure - say, a stoker, ship's officer, soldier, civilian passenger...
Survivors as a unit would have major possibilities. On the date of the sinking of the "Laconia" or "Bismarck" or whatever we could script in large numbers of them at the appropriate latitude and longitude - not thousands, obviously; a couple dozen would suffice.
As for other objects, how about having liferafts and life rings? Wooden planks, unused life vests, and oil drums would not be out of place either. You could also have a crewman model that is not clinging to a box, since the life vest alone would keep him afloat. There could be life jacketed figures arranged in a ring - survivors would sometimes clip their vests together to try and make themselves easier to spot.
