    Wafra; Cape Agulhas, South Africa.
    Cape Agulhas, South Africa.
    1. On the morning of February 27, 1971, the tanker Wafra was taken under tow off Cape Alghulas, South Africa after her engine room flooded. Later that day the towline broke, and the Wafra drifted onto the Agulhas Reef, five miles from Cape Agulhas. Cargo tanks were ruptured, and Arabian crude oil began to leak from the vessel. On March 8, the vessel was pulled off the reef by the tug Oceanic, and towed to a position 200 miles from the coast where it was deliberately sunk on March 12. Keyword: Sinking..

Not for navigation. The name is read automatically from official navigational warnings; a common name can belong to more than one ship, and a message may describe work the vessel is doing (cable, survey) rather than something that happened to it. Mariners must use official NAVAREA broadcasts and their national MSI service.
