Talk:Terukuni Maru (1929)

Why Only 28 Passengers Out of 249, with 177 Crew?
With a maximum of 249 passengers and a crew of 177, the Article states that "177" of the crew escaped the ship, as well as all "28" passengers. The Lede says the trip to europe was regular/routine, and the ship had not got there yet. Why does a ship that has only 28 passengers that could carry 249 passengers need 177 crew? The Article doesn't say. It makes numerous stops from Japan to Europe? Are passengers getting off? The numbers seem screwy to me and I wonder if there isn't a typo.68.206.249.124 (talk) 19:12, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
