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 to Tetite. She sailed in the banana trade until she
six years later she was sold to another company 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.
