SS American Star - a 723ft luxury liner - was launched in 1939. Unfortunately her launch coincided with Hitler's invasion of Poland and she was rapidly converted into a troop carrier. Post war she resumed cruising and in the seventies (renamed SS Australis)shipped passengers from Europe to Australia and New Zealand. After years of failed comebacks as a cruise ship in the Med, she was under tow from Greece to the far east when her towing lines snapped in a force 12 storm off the west coast of Fuerteventura. She broke in half on this sand bar and the stern section sank. The bow is proving a tad more resilient - this happended in 1994.
