Weapons Ship with Danish history sunk
You can see/follow her last minutes on the 3 small films on this site below these lines:
Personally I wonder what have happened to the meaning of an old sailor-skill called "S?mands-skab" or "Seamanship" in English...?
Is that a non-existing- old-fashioned empty expression with no meaning anymore...?
Look for your-selves in the 3 films and make up your own mind.....
I?m sorry that the text is written only in danish on the site, but I?ve used Google to translate it into English and I hope it will be able for you to both read and understand the text about the fate of this old danish coaster built by Svendborg in 1972.....!"?

Weapons ship Nour -M , which last month was boarded by the Greek authorities for attempting to smuggle illegal weapons to Syria has sunk in a harbor on the Greek holiday island of Rhodes. The ship is identical to the previous Danish coaster Anne Mette .
Sinking of the ship after it , as shown by the three videos including , were severely damaged during a storm.
On board the ship , which is now registered in Sierra Leone , found that the further 56 containers containing large amounts of ammunition and 20,000 Kalashnikov rifles .
The authorities of Sierra Leone has previously stated that
The Greek authorities was shortly before the vessel sank come to a realization that the arms cargo was not illegal because the ship - as stated by the crew - were on their way to Libya and not as assumed Syria.
A ride on the harbor bottom will hardly benefit neither the many weapons or ammunition .
The 41 years old freighter was on the ship's papers on the way from Ukraine to Libya when it was boarded by the Greek Coast Guard near the island of Imia . The Greek coast guard escorted subsequent ship to Rhodes .
Nour M was, according to the Danish Maritime shipping expert Bent Mikkelsen delivered in August 1972 Svendborg Shipyard ( newbuilding 141 ) to John K. Sorensen in Odense. Sold from Odense in 1984 and has since sailed under a variety of names.
The crew were on board shortly before it sank , but after pictures , judging somewhat robbed of gear.
