Sailing through the Strait of Dover in 1971


Arrazua         She was built at Sestao in 1959 by the Sociedad Española de Construcción Naval as Juan Tomas de Gandarias for Altos Hornos de Vizcaya. She was a bulk carrier destined to transport coal and ore to its factory.
        When the Naviera Vizcaína bought her in 1967, she became an asphalt tanker and renamed her Arrazua. In 1975 she was sold to a foreign shipping company and renamed Master Michael, with Liberian flag. In 1977 she was sold again and flagged in Cyprus.
        On 01/January/1979 she suffered an explosion while sailing with a shipment of diesel from Caracas Bay (Curaçao) to Haiti. She was abandoned by 30 of her crew who disappeared. Five remained on board, of which four managed to swim out to the bulk carrier Ilice, which approached upon hearing the SOS. The ship sank the next day.
