The ship sunk on the 19th April 1941 after a bombardment by the German luftwaffe,. The fire spread quickly, moved to portside and sunk. It rests now at a depth of 22 metres ( 72 ft ) at the bottom of the harbour.
Two years after the ship sank the two masts and the chimney were removed so there are no obstacles for the shipping.
