Hey, my friend thank you for the kind words and support! And yes it's a beautiful story that I really felt deserved to be both told and held for technological eternity on the blockchain.

I could in a way understand why they wouldn't have wanted it immediately brought into the public consciousness. But the survivors, their families and the families of the people that died have fought for decades to give the Lancastria a voice. Even in 2015 (the 75th anniversary) the families were still fighting, I have taken the below words from a paper of that time:

"Ahead of the 75th anniversary of the tragedy on Wednesday relatives of those who were onboard have condemned the Ministry of Defence for failing to commemorate their sacrifice.

In 2008, the Scottish Government commissioned a medal to honour survivors and descendants of those who lost their lives. But the UK Government has remained resolutely silent."

It makes people feel that the lives of those who perished are worthless and unworthy of being marked. Each of those death figures is a life and they meant something, they still do.

Thanks again @ravenruis
