THE LOST SHIP - dir. BJÖRN BRYNJÚLFUR BJÖRNSSON

Synopsis: A documentary about the Icelandic freighter Godafoss that was sunk by a German submarine in November 1944. Godafoss was coming from New York via England when it was torpedoed by the U-300 just before it came to harbor in Reykjavik. 42 people died in the attack.

Godafoss was shot down in shallow water, close to land and a lot of people saw it sink – but the ship has never been found!
