From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
M/S Hans Hedtoft was a Danish liner sailing from Greenland that struck an iceberg and sank on January 30, 1959. Ninety-five passengers and crew were aboard the Hans Hedtoft; no one survived. Hans Hedtoft was on its maiden voyage and was boasted to be "unsinkable" because of its strong design; those same boasting words that also sealed the same fate of its (in)famous predecessor, the Titanic almost 50 years earlier. It was built to move through the thick ice of the Greenland area.
