Anybody got any theories about the MC incident?
Mine is that the new superstructure on the rear deck made her slightly top-heavy;not serious under normal conditions but lethal under certain combinations of wind speed and direction and sea state.
Those conditions might have occurred and slammed her onto her beam ends, and the crew took to the lifeboat thinking she was sinking and were never seen again.
Later the ship righted itself and carried on it's way in a bedraggled state.
