East Coast sinking 27 July 1918. Which ship?
Posted by: Graham Fitt ()

I've been looking at the logbooks of HM Trawler Isernia in which my grandfather served in WW1.

According to the log on 27/7/1918 Isernia was on patrol in the Gt Yarmouth area. At 1:40PM an explosion was heard and the trawler headed towards it. They picked up 20 survivors, including women and children, from a wreck and took them to Yarmouth.

Does anyone know the name of the wrecked ship, which I assume was mined or torpedoed. Unfortunately Isernia's log doesn't give it. 20 survivors including women and children points to something bigger than another trawler.

Thanks.

Graham.
