Never knew she was so badly damaged. Rebuilt at Wismar between 1950-1952: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pobeda_(Schiff,_1928)

On July 31, 1948, the ship Pobeda with 323 passengers and 277 tons of cargo on Board left the port of New York for Odessa. Among the passengers were mostly employees of the ministries of foreign Affairs and foreign trade with their families, as well as several representatives of other departments, as well as the family of Chinese Marshal Feng Yuxiang, who was traveling to China via the Soviet Union.On the approach to Gibraltar, an instruction was received to go to Alexandria and take on Board about 2,000 more Armenian repatriates from Egypt returning to Armenia. An additional 1,500 tons of cargo were also loaded. Thus, all passenger capacity standards were exceeded. Nevertheless, all the repatriates were safely delivered at the end of August to the destination port — Batumi.On August 31, the ship set a course for Odessa. 310 passengers and crew members remained on Board.On September 1, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the radio station of the black sea shipping company in Odessa received a scheduled report from the ship that they had passed Novorossiysk and were expected to arrive in Odessa by two o'clock on September 2. After that, radio contact with the ship ceased.

In the morning, on September 2, the black sea shipping company began to take measures to find out the reasons for the silence of the ship, requesting vessels at sea and ports along the route of the liner: no one had any connection with the"POBEDA" and did not hear SOS signals. The leadership asked for help from the command of the black sea fleet,and search aircraft were sent to the sea. At 21: 00, one of the pilots reported that he found a burned ship "POBEDA" 70 miles South-East of Yalta, near it were five boats with people. Assistance was sent to the emergency vessel from Feodosia, Sevastopol, and other places. From Odessa cadets and teachers of the Odessa higher Maritime school were sent to help..... https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B0_(%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4)
