My grandfather was one of the few that was able to walk after they were rescued hours later because he was on night watch and had his coat on. The ship was a total loss but no crew were lost. I have little information on it other then it was a merchant marine vessel. My grandfather passed away on January 15th, 2001. Another great hero passed on that day, he inspired so much in me. I joined the USAF because I was so very proud of his service for our country while in the US Navy. Any help locating a picture of the North Wind would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

A WW2 Edition of Jane's Fighting Ships might have a pic.
