About MS Jan Heweliusz

MS Jan Heweliusz was a Norwegian-built Polish ferry named after astronomer Johannes Hevelius (Polish: Jan Heweliusz) that served on the route Ystad–Świnoujście. It was built in Norway in 1977 and was owned by Polish Ocean Lines and operated by its subsidiary company Euroafrica Shipping Lines. In the early hours of 14 January 1993, it capsized and sank in 27 metres (88 feet) of water off Cape Arcona off the coast of Rügen in the Baltic Sea while sailing towards Ystad with 65 passengers and crew. The accident claimed the lives of 20 crewmen and 36 passengers. Ten bodies were never found. Nine people were rescued. The sinking of Jan Heweliusz is the deadliest peacetime maritime disaster involving a Polish ship.
