Summary
1958 wreck of the stern section of a cargo steamer which broke in two and foundered after a collision with another vessel, somewhere between Rye Harbour and East of Dungeness just a few miles offshore. She had been en route from Montreal to Helsinki with a cargo of grain. She was built of steel in Richmond (USA) in 1943 as the liberty ship JAMES B HICKOK. It is debated whether she was Greek or Liberian at the time of her loss.
