And it still happens today. Much less frequently with the advent of radio and better weather forecasting, but there are still ships that go out but never return. Being a sailor will never be a safe job and, just like being an airline passenger, your life is in the hands of others who should know how to do their jobs, but there's still an element of luck, both good and bad.
