Ps; thanks for posting this memory from my childhood

August 1978. The Attican Unity, IMO 5163089, yob 1957, caught fire and was stranded in attempt to avoid sinking. she burned for weeks. After 8 weeks, she was pushed higher on the beach to stabilize her and to unload (a part of) her cargo. She carried chemicals which caused poisoned smoke several times.

I saw her a day before she stranded, i was alongside her aboard a pilotboat when she burned and went on my bike to watch her in Flushing Sloeharbour where she was for months. Note the deer in the funnel, something a 12 year old boy never forgets.
