Who was the Captain of the SS Flying Enterprise which sunk off Cornwall in early 1952?

ZyggyStardust, It's because you are young. I remember it happening and being on the news. Carlsen was hailed as a hero

way too obscure

GruffSecretAgent9936, but I did guess it right!

GruffSecretAgent9936, 6 months before I was born guess I am too young to remember some things

3 months short of my 2nd birthday.

JoyfulWrecker1775, I, too, remember it well. There's something to say about being old.

I went with the Enterprise and Captain Kurt. not necessarily the most knowledgeable answers but perhaps someone had a sense of humour!
