Google Manasoo, the ship's name - lots of info.

Briefly, the ship's name had been changed sometime in its history - it's an old sailors' superstition that's bad luck. Wallace, the car's owner, also was transporting 100+ head of cattle. The ship got hit by a storm and sank - apparently the weight of the cattle also contributed to the sinking. Only Wallace, the captain, and three sailors survived - sixteen humans and all the cattle did not.
