The
steamer Donator was built by Bergen Mekaniske Verksted
in Norway, and was launched in February 1931. She sailed
for the Norwegian company Holdt & Isaksen until she
was sold to France in 1933. The French company Generale
d'Armements Maritime bought her in June 1933 and renamed
her Tetite. She sailed in the banana trade until she six
years later was sold and renamed Prosper Schiaffino. She
survived the Second World War, but outside the island
Ile de Porquerolles she hit
a drifting mine and went down 10. November 1945. The
wreck rest today on her keel as a classic Donald Duck
wreck on a depth of 35 to 50 meter on the southeast side
of the island.
