Each damage situation is somewhat unique, but if a SE had taken significant quantities of water through the stern tube or through another hole in their hull, their single compartment construction would have eventually lead to settling of the hull in the water. Depending on the amount of water, sea conditions, and depth, I stand by my point that WSF would have witnessed a sunk ferry.

As far as I know they never sank. The old steel electrics hit a few logs in their 80 years of service I am sure.

Not sure about the depth of the water at this location, but this definitely would have been an Oh Crap moment.
