Today marks the Start of Caden Investigations, and also the day the “SS Kuru sank”.

Today begins with us here at Caden Investigations, getting up and moving from the simple confines of a desk.  Then immediately getting back in front of that desk to get our Weekly Business letter set up. Keep your eyes peeled here for all the big news that will be happening around the Agency and in the world. Today we bring you a mystery that is still talked about to this day…well really it’s probably just today that they are talking about it, because it in fact happened today.

“The SS Kuru was a steam ship which sank on 7 September 1929 in the lake Näsijärvi, near Tampere, Finland.

The sinking is still the most severe maritime disaster in Finnish lakes or rivers. It led to the loss of 136 lives, according to the passenger counts and the officers; most sources frequently list the death toll as 138. There were 150 passengers and 12 crew members.

The ship capsized due to heavy wind — 8 Beauforts (17-20 m/s), and there were some claims of up to 11.5 Beauforts. The capsizing was mostly due to an overly-high centre of gravity; in 1927, a third deck level had been added without expert help or inspecting the balance of the ship. The big waves brought water onto the deck, and the water couldn’t flow away.
The wreck was raised in the same year and repaired; the ship had suffered only minor damage. Some cabin structures were removed to improve the balance. She served in use until 1939.

During the First World War, the ship served as a part of Satakunta Flotilla of Imperial Russian Navy.”

Now in present day, the ship has been spotted bringing passengers to remote islands off the coast of Russia. Most of the passengers never return and when K.G.B is scrambled to find the ship, it just doesnt seem to turn up on their sensors. Could it be a modern day Ghost Ship? That still hunger for more souls after having such a big meal over 80 years ago?
Thats what we hear at Caden Investigations would like to find out.
