Lay Disappearance Of British Ship To "Breaking In Half"
A government court of inquiry in London concluded the Anglo Australian probably broke in half from deck to keel after shelter-deck buckled. The 5456 ton freighter with 39 crew vanished last March in the mid Atlantic while sailing from England to Vancouver. No trace was found and the Northleigh reported calm crossing behind. The court noted most deadweight was amidships and ruled out an explosion or collision as likely cause.
