STANLEY BAY
British freighter with Hong Kong flag and Indian crew (a total of 17 people) that had set sail from Dublin with 5,280 tons of zinc concentrates for the Asturiana de Zinc company and seemed ready to dock in the port of Avilés when a storm hit it. He directed the man from Gijón. But in that maneuver, due to a leak, it drifted and sank about eight miles from Cape Peñas. Her crew launched an SOS, but three of them failed to save themselves. It happened on January 23, 1986. The Basque bulkcarrier Luchiana had been wrecked the previous week at a distance of 2 miles. The depth at which the wreck is found ranges from 75 to 110 meters.
