According to one American newspaper, the Tuscania departed the Cunard dock at Hoboken New Jersey with a staff of 198 men and 2 women. However the ships manifest dated January 17, 1918 reveals that there were approximately 250 Tuscania employees returning on the final voyage.

The Tuscania disaster took the lives of 52 known Mercantile Marines, the majority of those casualties were never found. Many of these men whom were lost at sea, were either in the areas that flooded because of the hole the torpedo ripped into the hull, or were locked behind water tight doors. These Men, whom were Mercantile Marines of the United Kingdom perished 5th of February 1918 and they are not forgotten.
