Although the tale of her sinking is not particularly exciting, her life throughout World War II was certainly more eventful. You can read more about her life during the war at: http://dive.im/1dZaZRa
Sinking of the SS Turbo
In heavy weather on 04 April 1941, the Gladys Moller (sister ship of the Rosalie Moller) with the Turbo in tow (after being damaged beyond repair in a previous attack) neared Ras Banas when the Turbo suddenly broke in half. The forward section was ordered sunk by gunfire as it was a navigational hazard. The after section on the Turbo remained afloat but could not be boarded. On the night of 05 April, the Gladys Moller lost sight of the after section and the next morning the Turbo was gone.
She now lies in 28-meters of water lying near the reef on its port side. The starboard side of the ship is at a depth of around 18 meters with the stern pointing in a northwesterly direction. The superstructure is still intact with penetration being possible to the engine room and other engineering and work spaces down to the 3rd deck. Handrails, portholes, gauges, valves, and dials are all still in place.
