The scariest account I’ve ever read was when a Great Lakes Freighter broke in two on Lake Michigan in November 1956 or thereabouts. One of the big 726’ ones, I think.

The remaining survivor who was on wreckage or a raft, saw another vessel bearing down on him in the darkness right after the breakup. Turns out it was the stern section of the ship, still under power.

Scariest freighter story ever, and there are many.
