In 1957 Hans Buscher was the second officer on the Pamir, the famous Flying P-Liner sailing ship of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. On 21 Sept 1957 the ship was hit by Hurricane Carrie and sank shortly afterwards due to heavy listing to port. Hans Buscher died on a life boat two or three days later and only 6 survived from her crew of 86 (Wikipedia).
