Fortunately with no loss of life on this occasion. Interesting to note that she was carrying 30,115 tons of Portland cement, so salvage was never going to be an option after that lot solidified!
perhaps this is the last part of her superstructure still visible now, and it matches the lat. & long. position of her stranding:-

Yes Denis, wears her funnel at a rather "rakish" angle.(Saved a lot of paint on the name change though: Bonga to Ronga!)
