At 09.07 hours on 19 August 1942 the unescorted Cressington Court (Master William James Pace), dispersed from convoy TRIN-1, was torpedoed and sunk by U-510 northeast of Belém, Brazil. The master and seven crew members were lost. On 10 September, 26 crew members and ten gunners were picked up by Woensdrecht, but two days later this vessel was torpedoed and badly damaged by U-515 (Henke). During the attack a piece of debris struck and killed one crew member from Cressington Court. The remaining British survivors abandoned the tanker together with the Dutch crew and were picked up by two American patrol vessels the following night and landed at Port of Spain, Trinidad.
