Vessel history
MS Cap San Diego is a general cargo ship , Germany. Notable for her elegant silhouette, she was the last of a series of six ships known as "the White Swans of the South Atlantic", and marked the apex of German-built general cargo ships before the advent of the container ship and the decline of Germany's heavy industry
Incidents
Cap San Diego was built and launched by Deutsche Werft in 1961 for Hamburg Süd as the last of a series of six ships. The 159-metre (521ft 8in), 10,000 DWT ship ran a regular schedule between Germany and South America, completing 120 round trips until 1981. After being sold and running under different names and under Spanish flag and also flags of convenience as a tramp trader, the run-down ship was scheduled for scrapping in 1986 when she was bought by the city of Hamburg.
