Hi Mike
Interesting, but the story about U-87 is apparently a distraction. The picture that appears in the article clearly shows that it is PORT NICHOLSON, in fact it is the same picture we use here on uboat.net:
[www.uboat.net]
From the other facts mentioned (40 miles from Guyana, loaded with tin and copper, UK bound from South America, three crew members lost) I can narrow it down to one single possibility. The CITY OF BATH was sunk by U-508 off Guyana on 2 Dec, 1942:

I wonder if we will hear again from this project.
Best regards
