very mysterious! I dont think it has ever been revealed what she was carrying at the time,most likely nuclear warheads or gold bullion.The U.S. Navy made sure nothing else went near her. John? Dancey was the man who leapt aboard with the tow rope and I believe has recently cross'd the bar. Like the Torrey Canyon wreck,there is very little in the way of fish on the wreck.strange!
There is still a newsagents shop in Falmouth mamed "Danceys"
