Rounding cape horn v's panama canal

BrokenArrows · 2008-09-30 00:39:56

Was reading some stuff today and found out that almost 30,000 people died in the 34 years that the panama canal was under construction. I was just wondering if there were any figures on how many ships were wrecked and sailors died each year trying to round cape horn?
