2004-12-Nov.Sank in heavy weather between Barbados and Grenada in 13 17.3 N 60 52.2 W 12 Nov 2004 after taking list, presumably due cargo shifting. Crew boarded lifeboat and were subsequently rescued.
Nov 17 -- General cargo Lady Grace (478 gt, built 1969) was rumoured, a couple of days ago, to have been rescued by the Coastguard here and towed in. A local newspaper, today, reported that it had sunk and that the Coastguard had rescued all but one of the crew. According to the newspaper, the vessel was underway from Barbados to Carriacou, Grenada, last Friday (Nov 12), with a cargo of cement in bags, when it encountered some localised heavy weather and started listing, presumed from the cargo shifting. Lady Grace reportedly sank at approximately 1730, local time (2130 UTC) and the crew were reported to have been in the water for seven hours before they were found by the Barbados Coastguard. They had a liferaft, which was reported to have been launched, but apparently the painter broke and presumed drifted away before any crew could board it. -- Lloyd's Agents.
