VICTORIA CITY
Nederland, Friesland
The Victoria City was inaugurated in March 1955 and was only half a year old when it sank. It was Wednesday, December 14, 1955, when the English ship collided with the Italian ship, Valentino Bibolini, at 8:00 in the morning in foggy conditions. The Victoria City sank quite quickly after the collision. The crew, consisting of 17 European and 49 Indian sailors, was taken over by a Polish ship, the Worlowo, which happened to be nearby.
