Indeed, Manfred, the web is always a good source. I found additional infos and photos under: https://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?188880. By the way, the puzzling name came probably from bad transfer of the Greek name at the stern to the Latin bow name.

Good shot. In addition to functionality, these ships were also built from an aesthetic point of view. Comparable ships sailed under the DDG HANSA flag, for example: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2636750

Thanks Manfred, you are right. It seems to be the only photo of that ship in the data base. But it seems to be a popular underwater wreck. Puzzling is that the name is clearly AFRIKA TRADER (not AFRICAN TRADER).
