Mark
I have checked my file Figaro but unfortunately it contains quite nothing except an exchange of letters but in no case anything directly linked with the inquiry. Given the fact that the inquiry was held on behalf of Cherbourg, it is possible that files such as Captain's report and investigation report are still there if they still exist. In fact you hold more than I have.
What seems to be certain is that the loss was subsequently declared due to a navigation hazard but not to a war risk and the Captain was trialed in front of a Marine Court but I don't have anything about that in my own file
None U-Boot can be credited for the sinking and supposing it could have been a mine, well it would have been a drifting mine but once again, the Court refused to admit this possibility so I suppose that the loss was caused by an internal explosion.
Best regards
Yves
