War
Fundy was built in St.Johns in Canada by Grant & Home,
and she was launched in 1918 for TSC, 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 in
England to Gävle in Sweden 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
on her keel as a classic Donald Duck wreck on a depth of
15 to 30 meter, south of Grundkallen lighthouse.
