Michael -- nice find.

Michael and Simon -- This is obviously a weird one, as it isn't in Spindler or British Vessels Lost at Sea 1914-18. My first thought is that this might be some sort of error in LWL, but Michael's find seems to eliminate that possibility.

The series of events described does tie things up nicely, with Diligence being a CTL but not sunk outright. That's a distinction without much of a practical difference and could explain why the vessel is listed as sunk in LWL but not listed in BVLAS (BVLAS doesn't have fishing vessels damaged section).

I have UC 21 and UB 37 as possibilities. Will take a look at both over the weekend. Note that the microfilm roll with UB 37, UB 38, and UB 39's KTB is the hardest to read of all the rolls I've seen

Best wishes,
Michael
