“The Soviet hospital ship, the Armenia, was torpedoed and sunk by the Nazis in November 1941. It was one of the worse maritime disasters in history. All but eight of the 7,000 passengers perished on a ship designed for not more than a thousand. A comparatively modest 1,514 died on the Titanic (1912) and 1,198 on the Lusitania (1915) yet the sinking of the Armenia is all but lost to history.”
