Excavating shell "N. Chernyshevsky ”under the command of Captain Nemchinov and the scaffold“ Reushinka ”working with him left May 29, 1935 from Arkhangelsk for work in the Soroka port . On the way, they were caught in a storm with a wind power of up to 10 points. On the evening of June 2, Reushinka arrived at the port, according to its captain, contact with the dredger was lost 12-13 miles from Soroka during a deterioration in visibility due to a blizzard. For the rescue operation the tugs “Khabarov” and “Worker” were sent. The search for crew members yielded nothing. On the morning of June 3, 1935, the ship "Pyatiletka" on the island of Small Zhuzhmui discovered the bodies of 15 crew members. In total, according to the official version, there were 54 people, including one child. The crew’s bodies were transported to Arkhangelsk , where they were buried in a mass grave at the Kuznechevsky cemetery [2] .
