Mv Aeolian Sky (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Aeolian Sky was a Greek constructed and run freighter built in 1978, which collided with another ship near the Channel Islands and after a failed attempt at salvage sank off the coast of Dorset, England in a storm in late 1979. The Aeolian Sky was built in 1978 at the Greek Hashihama Shipyard. She was 148 metres long, weighed over 14,000 tonnes, and was valued at 3 million. Registered in the Greek port of Piraeus, she was run by Proteus Maritime SA, and was a conventional modern ship with crew quarters in the superstructure and her own large derricks for unloading cargo. In late 1979 the Aeolian Sky sailed from Hull, via Rotterdam, to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Africa.
