S.S. Parracombe by Laurence Dunn S_edge
Interesting, thanks. :-) Dave "swordedge" wrote in message ... It is very strange as she was named by a company based in West Hartlepool. Another ship of the same kind was named the Welcombe (another village in Devon). The Parracombe was torpedoed on the 4th April 1941 in mid-Atlantic with a cargo of grain. Best wishes, David. PS, In May 1941 the Welcombe was sunk on an unescorted passage to Malta by Heinckel aircraft. Out of a crew of 47, 30 were lost. (Cargo - Government Stores.) |
