Cable ship Mackay-Bennett sails from Halifax to recover the dead

node

Chartered by White Star and carrying ice, coffins and an undertaker, she recovered 306 bodies over the following weeks, burying many at sea and returning the rest to Halifax. Later charters brought the total found to around 330 out of some 1,500 lost.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
