It vanished in September 1679 with six crew members

So only 6 were lost, or was that the entire crew managing that ship?

2014 India 5 rupee - Komagata Maru
After being forced to leave Vancouver on July 23, 1914, due to restrictive Canadian immigration laws, the Komagata Maru was forced back to India, where 19-20 passengers were killed by British authorities upon arrival at Budge Budge, Kolkata, on September 27, 1914, with others imprisoned. The ship itself continued in service until it was wrecked off Japan in 1926.
