Re: Canadian ship SS Dunelm -- Oct 1915

Ed,

Dunelm is not considered to be a war loss. In fact, I don't even see a vague possibility that a U-bat sank her -- I have microfilmed copies of most U-boat war diaries (KTBs) and late October 1915 was during a lull in U-boat activity outside of teh North Sea and Mediterranean. With one exception (U 38, en route to the Med -- and even w/o checking her KTB, based upon the date and location of her sinkings, not a possibility), there were literally no German submarines in the Atlantic at that time.

Best wishes,
Michael
