Typhoon Terror: The Doña Marlyn & Typhoon Ruby
Update: 2020-01-30
Description
Sorry about the sound quality. Using a new microphone, need to figure out how to use it.
To kick off Season 2 of Channel of Catastrophe, I will be doing yet another Sulpicio Lines ferry disaster... The Doña Paz had a sister ship, and an American built predecessor. In this episode I will be talking about two ill fated Sulpicio Lines vessels. The first Doña Paz which sank in 1977 amidst heavy seas, and the Doña Paz's sister ship. The Doña Marilyn, which capsized and sank in Typhoon Ruby killing upwards of 200 people ten months after the Doña Paz burned.
