Hello Terje, I think the following link will account for Iturri-Ripa's end. If my Spanish translation serves me, according to this she set out from Aviles to Bilbao with a cargo of coal, and got stranded on rocks on the 24th September 1941 in a dense fog, off the north coast of Spain, between Cabo de Lata and San Pedro del Mar, at Punta Vergajo. The only one of these points on the coast I can locate is Cabo de Lata, which is just outside Santander. The old ship was abandoned on the rocks - the ignominious end of a grand old lady. Not even a victim of war. http://webmar.com/foros/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=6850&start=0 Regards, PK ________________________________ From: Mick <mick@irishshipwrecks.com> To: mariners@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, 11 September 2011, 23:24 Subject: Re: [MAR] Ripal x Vicenta W.Tod registered the Vasco Andaluz in Glasgow In 1861 in his own name and she was given the official number 43686, She is listed in Lloyds Registers through the 1860s as owned by W.Tod I suspect he sold her in 61-62 and in the absence of new information continued listed as the owner. She is listed in Lloyds 1876-80 owner Cste-y-Vldosol and registered in Bilbao I lost track of her after 1880. In 1890 she is back in Lloyds register as Ripa with former names Vicenta and Vasco Andaluz, owners are H.Lund Y Claussen, registered Christnsnd Norway, in 1896 her register moves to Bergen and the owner becomes Viuda De H. Lund Y Claussen, the listing is unchanged up to 1901.. My Lloyds registers run out at that stage, but you can find her listed in plimsoll ship data up to 1941 registered in Barcelona name ITURRI-RIPA http://www.plimsollshipdata.org/ship.php?ship_id=51755&name=Ripa . That's as much as I can contribute may be some one else on the list could complete her history for you, I just realized in 1941 she was 80 years old wow.
