What became of her
Sunk in the Atlantic on 5 September 1941 by explosive charges from a submarine. She had been sold under a right of repurchase and sailed under the Panamanian flag as Trinidad. In 1940 and 1941 she landed secret agents in North Africa, and on 10 May 1940 she slipped out of Dordrecht while the enemy held the railway bridge.
No crew list for this ship survives in this database, so there are no names to look up.
