| Notes on loss | At 01.04 hours on 10 Mar, 1943, U-229 fired a torpedo at the convoy SC-121 south of Reykjavik, followed by a spread of two torpedoes at 01.05 hours and reported two ships sunk and another damaged. In fact, the torpedoes hit Nailsea Court, which was sunk and the Coulmore, which was damaged and managed to reach port safely. At 11.15 hours the same day, the U-boat attacked the convoy a second time in grid AL 2622, heard detonations after 2 minutes 45 seconds and 4 minutes 15 seconds and reported one ship damaged and another probably damaged. No ship was hit at this time, but the British steam merchant Scorton in station #52 saw one torpedo that missed. | ||
