Hi Steve

EMPIRE LOUGH was one of 21 coastal vessels in the convoy ETC-17, escorted by the frigate HMS DAKINS and corvette HMS SUNFLOWER. On 24 June 1944, the convoy left Southend en route to the Seine Bay when the ships were engaged by German long-range coastal artillery guns off Dover. EMPIRE LOUGH was set on fire and declared a total loss after she was beached near Folkestone. The master Robert Robinson and one crew member were lost. The freighter GURDEN GATES (1791 grt, built 1943) was damaged in the same action.

Best regards
