The only reference I can find is in Dutch!
I think it says that the SS The Viceroy hit a mine when sailing from Antwerp to Aberdeen.

Viceroy was op weg van Antwerpen naar Aberdeen met 900 ton kunstmest toen het in de vroege ochtend van 12 april om 6,25 op een mijn liep in de Everingen. Piet Zwemer uit Borssele heeft met een sloepje nog drenkeling gered. De zwaar gewonde kok werd opgepikt door het passerende zweedse stoomschip LUNGO. De viceroy werd mid-scheeps getroffen. Wrakresten waren bij laag water zichtbaar toen.
