SS Oklahoman

All,

On July 7, 1942 freighter SS Oklahoman (Not to be confused with the Battleship USS Oklahoma) Sank 1nm West of Dassen Island, South Africa. After a review of the database here, it does not appear that any U-boats were in the vicinity at the time,
so was this a simple case of bad weather, human error, mechanical issue or something else?

The area looks pretty treacherous, so would this have been the normal route or does anyone know why she would have been there or have any more information on the circumstances of her loss?

Regards,

Eric Stone
