In that case I wouldn't mind to take a look to It.Andrés Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283802897907742244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455284570156061492.post-51067701580988074272016-12-15T21:42:38.092+01:002016-12-15T21:42:38.092+01:00Thanks very much.

But the slow and tragic death of these "few" makes you think about how were really these men, what kind of lifes they lived and which were their motivations. The study of their lives and personalities should be considered an important aspect which eventually would help to ascertain who of them had more chances to survive and to have enough moral strength and experience to go ahead.<br /><br />I think that we really only know the tip of the iceberg regarding their lives. I think it would be possible to fill a book with all the small details we already know about the crews of both ships.Andrés Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283802897907742244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455284570156061492.post-28400894520311408912014-12-22T19:31:02.907+01:002014-12-22T19:31:02.907+01:00Thank you very much for this, Andrés.
