Hi Phil,

Thank you very much for your response. The reason I've asked the question is that wrecksite.eu state the LACONIA was sunk 6 miles NW x W from Fastnet, as if this was the position logged by U 50. They further state the true position of 160 miles was only known with the discovery of the wreck in 2009.

I can't believe U 50 could have got the position wrong by over 150 miles. Further Tennent gave the position as 160 miles and his work was published in 1990. I can only assume his position was taken from the original KTB but somewhere along the line wrecksit.eu picked up an incorrect position.

Thanks again,
Best regards,

Martin
