VANILLA was sunk not by a torpedo from a German submarine, but rather a mine laid by a German warship. On April 17, 1915 the light cruisers STRALSUND and STRASSBURG laid a minefield from roughly 53°30'N, 2°30'W to about 53°40N, 3°25'W. VANILLA hit one of these mines the next day.

Best wishes,
Michael
