You're so right not calling her a yacht. Wait till you see drwaings of the conditions these prople were forced to endure. It's just horrible. People packed like cordwood shoulder to shoulder, no ventilation, etc., etc. I remember seeing her come down Long Island Sound a few years ago. Having read her story a few weeks earlier, I slowed and watched her sail by in awe and reverence as I envisioned her "cargo". It's amazing what man can do to man. Do visit her. We think we've learned the lessons, but something like this really brings it home.
