Today, we explore the story of the La Bourgogne, which is—shall we say—the anti-Titanic when it comes to the code of conduct at sea.
The scandal around its sinking was quickly hushed up by French courts who ultimately decided that the crew did everything they could to save passengers. Case closed.
In reality, the scene of hysteria that played out over the course of the Bourgogne sinking would later be described by surviving passengers as one of the most pitiful displays of crew brutality.
