Flying Enterprise II
Is Damaged In' Mooring
At Bombay Dock
BOMBAY, India, (AP) - Capt. Kurt Carlsen, 1952's most famous seafarer, nursed another wounded Flying Enterprise Monday. This one, however, was moored alongside a Bombay dock and in no danger of sinking.
The 8,000-ton Flying Enterprise II tangled with the 7,000-ton British freighter Canara as a port tender maneuvered the American ship into another corner of the dock.
The Enterprise's stern was gashed and she got a 10-foot hole above her waterline. Port officials said the Canara was heavily damaged both above and below the waterline and on both sides.
Carlsen got his present ship, owned by the Isbrandtsen Co. of New York, after he won world fame by refusing to desert the first Flying Enterprise last year as she lay helpless in the Atlantic after a storm.
The courageous skipper finally was rescued shortly before his ship sank in the English Channel, after being towed almost to safety.
