She was powered by a single diesel engine that gave her a speed of 15 knots (28 km/h). In January 1991, Protektor was sailing eastbound from Port-Cartier, Quebec to Oxelösund, Sweden with a cargo of iron ore when she ran into a severe winter storm about 260 miles (420 km) southeast of Newfoundland. Early on the morning of 13 January, the crew made a distress call indicating that the ship's cargo hold had been breached and she was taking on water, leading the crew to prepare to abandon ship. The Canadian Air Force dispatched a search plane, but radio contact was lost with Protektor before she was ever located. A search effort continued, but with severe weather remaining in the area it was called off at the end of the following day, with all 33 crew members presumed dead. (en) |
