Notes: The British Gretafield became a straggler and was torpedoed by U 57 on Febr. 14 in 58 27N 02 33 W with the loss of 11 men, 30 survived according to Roger W. Jordan. He adds she was on fire and drifted ashore at Dunbeath near Wick, 58 14 15N 03 25 45W. Broke in 2 on March 19 and became a total loss. Jürgen Rohwer lists her as sunk by this U-boat. R. W. Jordan also states that the British Langleeford was torpedoed and sunk by U 26 on Febr. 14 in 51 40N 12 40W with the loss of 4 men, 30 survived. Rohwer gives the position as 70 nm northwest of Fastnet. No convoy is mentioned by either source. The Norwegian William Blumer later came under German control and is listed in the Homefleet section of this website. Only a few of the ships listed in this table made it through the war. |
