The unescorted Scottish Trader sailing from Philadelphia to Liverpool , a straggler from convoy SC-56, was torpedoed and sunk by U-131 about 300 miles south of Iceland. The U-boat needed six torpedoes to sink the zigzagging vessel. The master, 36 crew members and six gunners were lost. _________________ Ken |
