Any prosecution would probably be around maritime law and if they can prove any negligence. Yes the wind keeled it over, but it will probably centre around what actions did the ships captain take in knowledge of the incoming storm, and where was everyone situated on the ship in event of emergency. All assumptions on my part, but we have heard the ships makers already make reference to why were they in their cabins (if they were). Also if it was anchored is that procedure, because that means they are stuck where they are and would not have time to try and avert danger, again all assumptions on my part. Then they will look at the design of the ship and the use of the keel on the boat and probably that in relation to the size of the mast (again potential liability). Yup way too much coverage, but manslaughter yeah I can see how that could come about, you'd be asking questions if it was your loved ones on that ship, like anyone else would surely? Saying oh it was just the wind is laughable (this is 2024, where there is blame there is a claim). I'm not attaching blame to anyone btw, just saying and asking questions others might ask.
