More than 740 people on board went missing in the disaster. The incident resulted in creation of nautical lores and songs. ==Etymology== She was named ''Vaitarna'' after Vaitarna river of Bombay Presidency. She was nicknamed ''Vijli'', literally electricity, as the ship was lighted with electric bulbs. The ship is often dubbed as "Titanic of Gujarat" even though RMS Titanic sank 24 years later.
