Actually, the historical losses of Merchant ships was much less than you think.
Usually, if the steamer's cargo wasnt explosive (Ammo or anything else than could explode violently) the crew had enough time to abandon ship in the life boats.
Most casualties in merchant ships occured in the direct impact when a seaman was near the epicenter of the impact, when something blew up or when the ship sank rapidly.
