The Mohawk Deer tanker near San Fruttuoso 1967
The Mohawk Deer was a typical Great Lakes tanker, built in Montreal (Canada) during 1896 and sunk in November, 1967 near San Fruttuoso (Portofino) in consequence of adverse weather conditions, while a tug was towing her to La Spezia for demolition. . Il Mohawk Deer era una tipica petroliera dei Grandi Laghi, costruita a Montreal (Canada) nel 1896 ed affondata presso San Fruttuoso (Portofino) nel Novembre 1967, a causa delle avverse condizioni atmosferiche, mentre un rimorchiatore la stava trainando verso La Spezia per la demolizione. . The hull was broken in two
sections by the violence of waves after the collision with the cliff of
Portofino promontory: the bow was dramatically twisted (right)
and lies on a rocky bottom at a depth of about -18m. . Lo scafo si
spezzò in due tronconi sotto la violenza dei marosi, dopo aver cozzato
contro le scogliere del Promontorio di Portofino: la prua fu piegata in
modo impressionante (a destra) e giace sul fondo roccioso ad una
profondità di circa -18m.
