Oost
Vlaanderen was built in Westerbroek in Holland, and was
launched in 1931. After the German invasion of Holland in
1940, she was requisitioned by Kriegsmarine and
Organization Todt and used as a military transport. In a
convoy from St. Malo to Guernsey loaded with cement, she
was attacked by RAF airplanes and sunk outside 23. Mai
1943. The wreck rest today on a depth of 20 to 30 meter
east of St. Peter harbor, standing on her keel as a
classic Donald Duck wreck. Due to her cargo she is often
referred to as the "cement-wreck".
