Strength was laid down at Harland & Wollf in Belfast
in 1942 as a general cargo ship for the British ministry
of war transport. She survived second world war unharmed
and was sold in 1946 to Blue Star Line. She changed name
and owners several times before she was sold to Hegif
Compania Naviera in Greece in 1968 and renamed to E.
Evangelia. Under a journey from Rijeka to Constanta she
hit ground at night 19. October 1968 outside Costinesti.
Due to her old age and poor condition, she was deemed
unworthy of saving. The abandoned wreck still stands in
shallow waters, clearly visible from the surface.
