[edit] Remaining crew

The Derbyshire was lost with all hands; yet the article talks about the "remaining crew" being charged with negligence. This needs to be explained - was it the late crewmembers that were charged with negligence, or crewmembers who did not sail (and if so why)? Lupine Proletariat 09:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I had noticed that as well. The wording could be changed to say that the "actions of the crew might have been negligent."

[edit] Unknown Creature

Does anyone have any information on the "Derbyshire Nymph," a newly-discovered pelagic isopod that was photographed during the TLC-led voyage to find the Derbyshire Wreck location Link? Streltzer 19:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
