Tonis Chandris

Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia

On 9th January 1940, while trying to avoid a German U boat, the SS Tonis Chandris (ex-Efxinos, ex-Karl Leonhardt, ex-Hornburg), en route from Narvik with a cargo of iron ore, ran aground near Mu Ness, Unst.
Although an attempt was made to tow her off she was too badly holed and quickly sank.
All the crew were saved.
