The
cargo ship collided with
Butt (Germany) in the
Kiel Canal,
Germany and was beached.[4] A
Lloyd's Open Form contract for her salvage was annulled by the company appointed to salvage her due to the situation the ship was in. She was formally abandoned by her owners leaving the canal authorities to arrange salvage on a special contract.[9]
The
cargo liner ran aground at Carmel Head,
Anglesey and was holed. All passengers were taken off by

Liverpool,
Lancashire for inspection.[4]
The
tanker came ashore at
Rockport, Maine, United States. It was estimated that 70,000 imperial gallons (320,000 L) of cargo would need to be unloaded before the ship could be refloated.[12]
