Dear All

Did find the below today when looking for the Empire Steel. What uboat did she ramm?

"The large ocean going tug Edmund J. Moran was built in 1940 to move barge traffic along the Eastern seaboard as well as perform deep sea salvage and rescue work, with the coming of war in the Atlantic.

This tug was destined to be very busy for its first five years of life. The work of the Edmund J. Moran was considered so important she was given one of the first precious surface search radar sets to make it easier to find ships in distress.

The E.J. Moran also has the distinction of being the only commercial tug to sink a U-Boat by ramming."
