Re: steamer ALMERIAN - U 73

Simon,

I suspected U73 was responsible and asked Oliver about it. He had already looked at the location of the sinking in British files -- it's 37°11‘N, 13°39‘E, which is an exact match for one of U 73's August 10, 1918 minefields -- and had attributed it to U 73.

I've added the location in our file on ALMERIAN -- I should have done that when updating previously.

I took Saupe's name from who have as the commander for that date (August 10, 1918). If the dates are wrong on U 73's list of commanders, we'll get that fixed.

Best wishes,
Michael
