MS Skaubryn

The Greek Line chartered her later in 1957 for four round trips from Europe and the UK to Quebec, after which she returned on the Australian emigrant service again.On March 31, whilst in the Indian Ocean a fire broke out which quickly spread, though all the passengers safely evacuated the ship in her lifeboats.The rescued crew and passengers and people was transferred to Ellerman Lines cargo liner City of Sydney, but she could not provide accommodation.[1] The fire on the Skaubryn caused great damage to her forward and central superstructure, whilst her stern remained untouched.An attempt was made to tow her to Aden, first by HMS Loch Fada, then by the Dutch Tug Cycloop, however, Skaubryn slowly took on water and she eventually sank on April 6, 1958.
