Hi Dave, thanks for posting this. I would direct members attention to the date of the loss of this ship. Several months before the USA was officially at war with Nazi Germany. A lot of people don't realise how the USA helped Britain at this, our dark hour of need. The convoys were a vital lifeline for us.
Cheers, Ade.
