Cape Farewell
This area saw some of the biggest convoy battles of the U-boat war, several convoy routes passed right through this area, or just to the southwest of it.
Of special fates here are U-110 that was captured in May 1941. Its capture was of immense value for the allies. The U-254 was rammed and sunk by its sister ship, U-221 (Trojer).

The approximate route of the North Atlantic convoys (HX, ON, SC, ...) is shown in red on the map. Since the Allies often re-routed the convoys away from awaiting German Wolfpacks the line is only a rough indicator.
