None of this year's grain "racers" had a radio. Ten of them belonged to Captain Gustaf Erikson, a retired master mariner of Mariehamn, Finland. Though every ship had a 100 A-1 rating at Lloyd's, one or more might vanish, capsize or stagger into port without masts. Running far out of the steamer routes, few planned to show lights at night.
