The Coffin of Fölkersahm didn't sink with the ship...

In "Tsushima", Alexey Novikov-Priboy says

"But one more remained afloat, dead, not living; the corpse of Admiral Felkerzam, which hat been hermetically sealed within sheet-lead. The air in it sustained, not only the coffin and the body, but a bluejacket who clung to it (...)

This man was fished out, an the coffin was left to roll among the wavesBold text" (Ed. Alfred A. Knopf, 1937, p. 286) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.243.121.23 (talk) 15:30, 2 January 2019 (UTC) [reply]
