@bostonrailfan2427 People are punished for getting caught. Many a fragging was never solved if we want a land-based comparison.

Contemporary tech was impressively primitive by modern standards, maintenance-intensive and had poor reliability. Even operatiing trains was dangerous, let alone shipping. Look over machinery of the early 1900s and ignore survivor bias. It's impressive it worked at all, the major exceptions being overbuilt hydroelectric plant some of which remains in use.
