Also ships already had a multi millennia history so one event wasn’t going to be as impactful on the industry as a whole.

- GDC7 5y agoThis right here. Back when the first ships failed causing the death of all the occupants , human lives were just not worth much , so humans kept building ships. And also mass media wasn't there yet, so there could be no way to massively distribute content of a ship sinking and all the bodies floating around. Same thing with planes, had we discovered flight in the Middle Ages we would have loaded 100+ people in wooden planes as fast as humanely possible because of the enthusiasm for the new technology would have vastly surpassed the fear of being harmed by it.
