...that the Victory went down. That location, according to Stemm, helps clarify why the ship sank. "If it had run aground on the Casquets [an outcropping of rocks in the Channel], as historians have believed for over 250 years," he says, "it would have been because of a navigation error because the Casquets were far south of where the ship should have been.

Captains, prodded by fleet operators to keep on schedule and make money, repeatedly take risks ranging from filling aging vessels beyond safe capacity to setting sail in dangerous weather, according to maritime-industry regulators. In the Philippines, for example, ferry captains are required to submit a document called the Master Oath of Safety Departure (MOSD) - testifying that the vessel meets all requirements and disclosing the number of passengers on board - to the coast guard before every sailing. But "the shipping...
