The sinking of the Truro, a 974 tons British Steam Merchant
The sinking of the Truro, a 974 tons British Steam Merchant. Picture is possibly the last picture taken of the vessel before it was sunk.
Story : At 19.05 hours on 15 Sep 1939 the unescorted Truro (Master John Charles Egner) was stopped and searched by U-36 about 150 miles east of Kinnaird Head. Kinnaird Head is a headland projecting into the North Sea, within the town of Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire on the east coast of Scotland. 15The ship carried contraband, so the crew was ordered into the lifeboats and the ship sunk with a torpedo after a first torpedo was a dud and the Germans were not able to hit the ship with their guns due to high seas. The survivors were picked up by the Belgian trawlers Nautilus and Edwaard Van Flaaneren, transferred to one of the trawlers and landed at Aberdeen on 17 September.
20 strong crew. 0 dead. 20 survivors.
