The Glenbank capsized and sunk during a cyclone while transporting copper ore to Great Britain. One crewman survived after swimming to a nearby island. Looks like the cause of the sinking was the same thing that causes a lot of truck/trailer wrecks: Improperly secured load. Tsk, tsk, tsk...you'd think they would have that part down after millenniums of sea travel. Nice pics in the slide show if you follow the link:
