The Vessel and Her Loss
Built in England in 1910 as the Maria Stathatos, the freighter later sailed for the Greek Goulandris shipping family under the name Ioannis P. Goulandris. On December 1, 1942, she collided with the freighter Intrepido in the deep channel known to divers as the Mud Hole, off the approaches to New York Harbor. No lives were lost in the sinking. She now rests upright with a list in roughly 190 to 200 feet of water, a demanding technical dive.
