Or possibly it was just the investors? Either way, I imagine that there must be a number of such stories of what might have been if it had made it to dock. Do you know of any?

None that come to mind, although I am more of a rivet-counter than a people person. Researchers such as Jim Kalafus or Randy Bigham may have a few such stories. As well as those who never made it to New York, quite a few survivors also decided to return home to Europe rather than settle in the US as planned.
Talking of which, [gofundme.com/…/short-term-help-needed-for-long-te…](Jim Kalafus) is going through a really tough time medically at the moment. If anyone here has a couple of dollars to spare, it would make a huge difference to him.
