Wrecked	03/01/1979 - Palamós Bay

On 1979 during an storm there was a cargo shifting, and the list was so big that the main engine stopped. The vessel drifted towards shore, and grounded close to Palamós (Gerona), being a total loss. The whole crew was saved with help from the port. On this photo is already grounded.
