The ELEANOR (Lieutenant Arthur Thomas Brain RNR)
Loaded with a cargo of 1,434 mines and 200 depth charges, she was proceeding from Immingham to Falmouth. At 04.40 when twelve miles east-south-east of Anvil Point, Dorset, in position 50.30N 01.30W, she was torpedoed by the submerged UB.57 (Lohs) and sank immediately, her attacker surfacing afterwards to confirm her identity. Thirty four members of the crew were lost, with one survivor, Second Officer Barton Hunter being picked up by the drifter Parisienne.
