Footage shows the chemical/oil products tanker KOWIE (IMO 9382504) with extensive structural damage to the side shell. Most notably, what appears to be a large ship’s anchor remains lodged within the damaged area

Chemical/oil products tanker, built 2010

Nigerian flag; 144 m LOA, 23 m beam, approximately 16,886 DWT.

The footage shows severe localized deformation and tearing of the side shell around the forward/midship cargo-area region.

Several shell plates are buckled, folded inward and/or torn open, with frames/internal structure exposed.

A large anchor appears to be physically embedded in the damaged structure. Its chain is also visible extending away from the anchor.

The American motor passenger ship City of New York, she was sunk by U-160 (Lassen) on March 29 1942

At 13.36 hours soon after lunch had been served aboard the City of New York, she was struck by one torpedo on starboard side forward from U-160 whilst steaming a nonevasive course at 14 knots 50 miles west of Cape Hatteras. The engines were stopped and the crew and passengers began to abandon ship in the lifeboats. At about 13.47 the ship was struck by a second torpedo in the port poop deck which caused her to sink quickly by the stern. 26 passengers and crew were lost, 106 survivors were picked up by USN ships.
