Identification of Merchant Ship
Posted by: George Walker ()

<HTML>Hi all:

When watching all the documentary\'s on television on the U-Boat War the film producers seem to show one particular merchant ship sinking quite often. The ship bears the name RADAMES and is shown sinking from the stern and then the and as she slides into the sea the bow extends into the air so the RADMES letters on the bow are visible and clearly identified on the starboard side.
The photography does not look like it was filmed through a periscope. It is pretty clear and understandable.

For over one year I have closely looked on the Events of the Day to find this ship--- but have never seen it listed as a sinking during WW2.

Does anyone know about this particular ship and if it was sunk by U Boats and what War-Who owns it- Date and time and what convoy, and most important which U Boat?


Thanks for the help

George</HTML>
