The captain and several crew members decided to wait out the bad weather on the ship. The snowstorm replaced the ship, it disappeared from view. When the bad weather was over, there was not a trace left of the ship and the crew. Mysticism is that many ships have observed Baychimo drifting in the Arctic.

For 1 hour and 50 minutes the ship sank to a depth of 70 meters, killing 852 people. Ship accidents in the sea on the European continent are a rarity, this shocked everyone. Investigation of the disaster for a long time was postponed. And after receiving the first information, the three Baltic states - Estonia, Sweden and Finland concluded an agreement on non-disclosure of the causes of the disaster. The official version - the ship in a faulty condition left the port, got into a storm and sank. The unofficial version is an explosion that occurred on the ship. The cause of the explosion is the secret transportation of weapons.

"Urang Medan"

Dutch ship "Urang Medan" in 1947 gave the signal SOS from the Malacca Strait, which separates the Malacca Peninsula from the island of Sumatra. After a while, the radio stations of England and Holland received information that the whole team was dead. The last message from the ship could not be deciphered, and only at the end it was clearly written: "I'm dying." Ship accidents at sea in this area occurred extremely rarely.

The ship Silver Star arrived in time to help the ship. The ship did not give signs of life. Then the special group landed on the deck - and indeed, the whole crew was dead. When the captain of the vessel who had come to the aid of the ship decided to tow the ship to the shore to find out the causes of the disaster, a thick smoke poured from the hold and the ship exploded. Experts who investigated this case, came across a wall of secrecy. All the data on "Urang Medan" were destroyed. The only evidence was the ship's log ship Silver Star.
