Can anyone help me with information about the norwegian ship "Chr. Knudsen" sunk April 10-1942 by U-85? What was the cargo, what the course? How many men died, did anybody survive? If there were survivors, is still anybody alive?

Chr. Knudsen departed New York on April 8-1942 for Cape Town with general cargo and Nitrate, and was never heard from again. Captain was Bjarne Sand. She had 25 Norwegians and 8 of other nationalities on board. No survivors.
