    Re: Virgin Rocks.

    Virgin Rocks was indeed a hazard near the shipping lanes from Northern Europe 
    to America. One of the many mysterious disappearances was the huge Swedish 
    ore carrier NORRBOTTEN in 1915. She left Narvik, Norway on Sep. 12, 1915 with 
    10,000 tons of iron ore for Bethlehem Steel Works in Philadelphia. On Sep. 23 
    she sent a morse code message to Cape Race radio station that her position 
    was 100 nautical miles east of Cape Race and expected to arrive in 
    Philadelphia on Sep 26. Nothing was ever heard from the vessel after that. 
    She disappeared with her crew of 42. Theories about her hitting the Virgin 
    Rocks was put forward at the following hearings.
