If they lost steering control, they are near enough a port it seems that a tender vessel might have been available to pull them to safety? I would think even another ship could have helped out? If you loose control so near to a hazard, might an option have been to drop an anchor while you are still in deep water?
It's seems like a slow motion disaster to me where options might have been available to prevent tragedy.
