| History | | ||
| Notes on loss | The unarmed and unescorted four-masted schooner Albert F. Paul (Master William Mack Martino) was reported missing after 11 Mar, 1942. On 13 March, U-332 spotted a four-masted schooner, which must have been the Albert F. Paul. Liebe considered using his deck gun to sink the ship, but the heavy seas prevented this. A first torpedo passed under the bowsprit, but at 07.20 hours a second torpedo struck under the third mast and the schooner sank immediately. | ||
