Sank yesterday (Feb. 20th 2011) in tow on it´s way to beakers in Denmark.
The ship developed a list and sank after 20 min about 40 to 50 miles from Iceland.
The ship has been lying in Hafnarfjörður for 4 years.
Before that the ship was fishing prawns at Flemish Cap.

She was built early 70's at Ørskov Shipyard in Denmark for KGH (Kongelig Grønlandske Handel). As far as I know, she was built for cod fishing, but due to lack of cod, she was converted to scrimps.
