The TMP Cruise ended badly, I see. |

From Uboat.net; At 06.54 hours on 1 Nov 1941 the unescorted Bradford City (Master Henry Paul) was hit by one of three torpedoes from U-68 about 300 miles west of Walvis Bay, South West Africa. Shortly afterwards the submerged U-boat collided slightly with its target because they had problems in keeping the depth and came to the surface only 10 metres from the ship. Luckily for the Germans the crew was already abandoning ship in two lifeboats and did not fire at the U-boat, which immediately dived again and only had a bent bow from this encounter. The ship developed a list to port and sank quickly. The master, 36 crew members and eight gunners were then questioned by the Germans and later made landfall near Walvis Bay and were rescued by South African troops. |

The TMP Cruise ended badly, I see. Odd, since there isn't a Napoleonic discussion in sight. |

It's not a shipwreck if the ship is sinking because of a torpedo attack. Shipwreck indicates loss of the ship because of an accident or an act of nature. Great diorama! |

Javelin98--Hah! Shows what you know. What do you think caused the hull rupture in the first place? |
