I know some of the facts about the wreck, and somewhere I have a book which, as far as I remember, have the rest of the facts (I just can't find it right now!).
The freighter was hauling cryolite from the mine at Ivigtut (about 70 NM west of Narssarssuaq) to the USA. As I remember it, it was heading for Narssarssuaq to join a convoy when it hit one of the two submerged rocks next to the mountain called "the Iron" (for ironing clothes). This happened during the war in either 1942 or 1943. It just happened to sit solidly enough that it could be emptied of its cargo, which was needed in USA for the manufacturing of aluminium, and to stay there until some years ago. When it disappeared, I do not know, but when I was there in '95, it had gone.
I was on the wreck itself in '71 or '72.
If and when I find the book, I'll relay the missing facts, unless somebody beats me to it.
How are things at the 7 islands?
Regards
