re: torpedoed ore carriers
Good morning, I just read my July copy and I am sure you will be deluged with reports on the error on page 52. I was surprised to see it, as there have been articles before on these sinkings - and at least one on the group arranging dives on the sunken vessels. All four ships were sunk at the anchorages off Bell Island- none were sunk at the piers. Just imagine the havoc that would have caused to the shipment of ore if the piers were blocked. One torpedo did strike the pier but the ship there had moved after dark so the torpedo missed it- that was in the nighttime attack in November. I was a youngster there at the time but remember the daylight raid and the survivors being taken to the surgery. As usual enjoyed the issue, Lester Taylor Submitted By: NULL
