The Magdeburg - which was carrying 42 Leyland buses to Havana in Cuba - was sailing downstream from Dagenham when it hit a Japanese vessel heading upstream towards the Royal Docks, in 1964

Broadness Point

And CIA was accused to have sabotaged it

Spot on, although I didn't think you would find that on the www as it's the first time it's been posted. Looking SW towards Gallows point from the pier

Ref the Magdeburg story, I too was a Cadet in the Worcester. It was interesting to meet up with Athenius
Stefanus Fokias and Roe in the posted link to the story. Fokias was in the bunk above me. His dad was a master in Athel Line. There exists a picture somewhere of us in our whaler with the bow inside Magdeburgs Funnel.
