In fact, the Heina and the HMCS Spikenard (K 198) were sunk. The Heina (Master Alfred H. Aardahl) in station #72 was hit below the #2 hatch, developed a heavy list and sank vertically three hours later. All men were picked up by the HMCS Dauphin (K 157) and landed at Londonderry, where the injured master was taken to a hospital. The remaining survivors left for Glasgow on 14 February. | ||
