War
Fundy was built in St. Johns in Canada by Grant &
Home, and was launched in 1918 for The Shipping Controller
in London. The First World War however, ended in November
the same year, and in 1919 she was sold to Societe des
cargos Francais. Under a voyage from Blyth to Gävle loaded
with coal, she hit ground under heavy fog outside
Grundkallen lighthouse. Her crew was rescued by another
ship that came to assists, and three days later she
disappeared in the deep. The wreck was found by divers in
the 1980s. Her hull, which was built in mahogany is still
largely intact. The wreck rest today on her keel like a
classic Donald Duck wreck on a depth of 15 to 30 meter,
south of Grundkallen lighthouse.
