Clio,

That's an excellent find and makes a lot of sense. The file “Reported Destruction of Submarines” (ADM239/26) describes the Greenisland incident but then notes “S/m continued operating.” It’s not been obvious why exactly the Royal Navy came to that conclusion but a gunnery action later the same day nearby could certain do it.

One slight correction: Based upon BVLAS and the Mercantile Navy List, the Wheatear in question is very likely a defensively-armed small steamer of 383 grt that was built in 1906.

What's the Larne Diary? I hadn't heard of it before.

Best wishes,
Michael
