Re: British tanker Eupion

It dawned on me that the first person to elaborate should be me :-)

The reason I asked this question has to do with a piece of text from Robert M. Grant's book 'U-Boat Intelligence':

p. 103, wrt british intercepts of signals from UB 90

...
At 7 knots on the surface she expected to operate off Peterhead for three days. Only the british learned that she had sunk 3575 tons in October and had broken off her cruise on October 3. The damage, it could be inferred, was somehow related to her torpedoing the 3575-ton steamer Eupion off the mouth of the Shannon on that date.
...

Best regards,

Jan-Olof
