About Böhlen

Böhlen or Boehlen was an East German oil tanker that sank during a storm off the Île de Sein on 14 October 1976, causing the death of 25 crew members and an oil slick on the coast of mainland Finistère and the Île de Sein. Three other people died in the operations to pump and clean up the oil from the Böhlen. Launched at Leningrad in 1961, the Böhlen's sister ships were Port Briac and Port Maria, and she sailed under the East German flag. Her sinking came less than nine months after that of the Olympic Bravery, less than 40 km (25 mi) away, and marked the beginning of a series of similar disasters in Brittany, with those of the Amoco Cadiz in 1978, Gino in 1979, and Tanio in 1980.
