Η ιστορια του πλοιου Hans Hedtoft ειναι τοσο τραγικη και τοσο λυπηρη.... Ιδου ενα πλοιο που ειχε ναυπηγηθει στην Δανια ειδικα για να πηγαινει στην Γροιλανδια. Ειδικα φτιαγμενο για ταξιδια μεσα στους παγους το πλοιο χαθηκε στην επιστροφη του απο το παρθενικο του ταξιδι στην Γροιλανδια.

Δυστυχως η κατασταση μου των επομενων εβδομαδων (για την οποιαν ξερουν πολλοι φιλοι) δεν μου επιτρεπει να γραψω μεγαλα πραγματα για την ιστορια του μια και δεν εχω ουτε τον καιρο ουτε το κεφι. Απλως θα προσφερω εδω ωρισμενα στοιχεια για το πλοιο και τον χαμο του, για οσους δεν γνωριζουν τιποτε για το πλοιο, καθως και μια σειρα φωρογραφιων απο το διαδικτυο και απο την συλλογη μου. Θα αφησω αλλους (τοξοτης, Ellinis;) να προσθεσουν ελληνικα κειμενα αν νομιζουν οτι χρειαζεται.

Hans Hedtoft was built by Frederikshavns Værft at Frederikshavn. She was launched on 13 August 1958 and completed on 17 December, 1958. She had a double bottom and seven watertight compartments and an armored bow and stern.
She was designed to provide a year-round service between Denmark and Greenland. Like the RMS Titanic, Hans Hedtoft had a riveted hull, a feature which was criticized by Knud Lauritzen, a shipowner. Lauritzen claimed that a riveted hull was not as resistant to ice pressure as a welded hull.
Hans Hedtoft sailed from Copenhagen on her maiden voyage on 7 January 1959. Her voyage to Julianehaab, Greenland, was made in record time. Hans Hedtoft called at Nuuk, Sisimiut and Maniitsoq before returning to Julianehaab.
On 29 January, 1959, she began her return journey. The ship had 40 crew, 55 passengers and a cargo of frozen fish on board. One of her passengers was the Danish parliament member Augo Lynge.
The next day, Hans Hedtoft collided with an iceberg about 35 miles (56 km) south of Cape Farewell. A distress call was given at 13:56 (local time) stating that the ship had hit an iceberg at 59°30′N 43°00′W / 59.5°N 43°W / 59.5; -43. The call was answered by the USCGC (Coast Guard Cutter) Campbell, the West German trawler Johannes Krüss of Bremerhaven and another West German trawler.
Within an hour, another message was sent stating that the engine room was flooded. At 15:12, it was announced that the ship was sinking. A final message was sent at 17:41 stating the ship was slowly sinking and requesting immediate assistance.
Aircraft in Newfoundland were grounded by the weather and unable to assist in the search for Hans Hedtoft. The beginning of an SOS was received by Johannes Krüss at 17:41 after which communication with Hans Hedtoft was lost. On 31 January, USCGC Campbell reported that conditions were the worst seen and there was no sign of Hans Hedtoft or her passengers and crew. The search was called off on 7 February, 1959.

The only piece of wreckage ever recovered was a lifebelt which washed ashore some nine months after the ship sank. ……………..

Like the RMS Titanic, Hans Hedtoft was said to be the safest ship afloat, being described as "unsinkable" by some.
