World War IIDS Marly
The Norwegian DS Marly was en route from Bombay to Cochin with a full cargo when it sailed into a cyclone on 15 October 1940 in position 18°30’N 72°10’E. The hatch covers were stove in, and the crew took to the lifeboats. Two naval vessels were dispatched from Bombay, but no trace of Marly was ever found. The vessel was manned by five Norwegians, six Indians, and 35 Chinese. The entire crew was lost in the sinking.
