Thank you. I have not been to UK in 10 years now, but it's on my list. HMT Manitou as been of interest to me since I read about the account of Turkish torpedo boat Demir Hissar firing three torpedos at the sink ship in April 1915, The ship was stationary at the time of the close range attack, but all three torpedoes missed, two because they ran under the Manitou. Then of course there was run in with U-64 in June 1918, but the ship was not the focus of the attack.
