Dogu Haslaman
The 71 meter long, 1916 dwt freighter Dogu Haslaman sank off the coast near Cesme, Turkey. The vessel was proceeding to Ashdod, Israel from Instanbul with a cargo of nitrates when the vessel suffered water ingress in the machine room. The vessel sent out a distress call with the nearby vessel Pirireis responding. Eleven crewmen were rescued, but two crewmen perished due to a heart attack. The men were later transferred to a Coast Guard vessel.
