Can someone help me find a ship story I read about years ago? The details are slightly fussy, but here goes: A ship gets in trouble. starts to sink, but somehow stays afloat but as a ridiculously steep angle, something like 45 degrees. The ship is evacuated, but the captain, or at least one of the officers refuse to leave. Something about the cargo being too valuable. So he stays on his slanted ship for something like three weeks. The story had a happy ending, but a lot of details were classified. Officially the valuable cargo was nothing but pig iron. The captain may have been Danish? He had a name ending with -sen. Ring any bells for anyone?
