Hi Ed

Michael is an expert and studies WWI U-boats and their activities. There was very little action from U-bpats during 1915 and there were, as he says, no boats in the Atlantic at that time. The ship was just listed as "missing since passing Cape Race, 17 October 1915, while voyaging from Sydney, C.B., (16.10.15), to Manchester with steel products". There are no German records of surface vessels having sunk her either, so the only other thing was for her to have foundered for one of a number of reasons. The DUNELM was not the only vessel to have never been seen or heard from again.

Cheers Ron
