Re: Seeking info on S.S. Hesperus sinking in 1918 by U-Boat

David could the 'Hesperus' have been that fishing vessel sunk off Lowestoft as presumably the Granton fishing fleet could have gone in search of fish as far south in the North Sea as Lowestoft. The choice of 'Hesperus' Street was made by local concillor Elizabeth McGinnis whose grandfather was a Granton trawlerman.
THe newspaper too carrying this story, could have confused 1917 with 1918 as well-what do you think?. Thank you for your help. Brian Donald.
