See Epine GY7 Fishing Trawler Shipwreck Remains, Djúpalónssandur Beach, Iceland
On Saturday 13th March 1948 FV Epine (GY7) was wrecked on rocks a little to the west of Malariff Light, at Snæfellsnes, Faxafloi, west coast of Iceland in a severe gale and blizzard.
An Icelandic rescue party got a line to the vessel and took four of her crew off by breeches buoy. One other crew member managed to swim ashore but fourteen of her crew were lost as heavy seas swept the wreck.
Clinging to the bridge, skipper Alfred Loftis was heard to shout:“I do not mind what happens to me so long as the boys are all right. Look after the boys.”
