Every dead seaman, every German ship disaster ends up as a file at the German Federal Bureau for Maritime Casualty Investigation (“BSU”). Investigators review accidents there, search for the causes and reveal what are at times hair-raising states of affairs. The feature A CORPSE AND A WRECK (original title: EIN TOTER UND EIN WRACK) accompanies the team on the lookout for tangible proof in the rough-and-tumble world of maritime shipping.
