<HTML>Thanks guys.
I know that she was a part of the merchant fleet and am trying to find out as much as possible about her. Several books have erroneously (I believe) called her by the code name \'Moro\' which I think was actually the code name of the refuelling operation undertaken by U25. Also I am trying to figure out if she was one of the 10 ships trapped in Vigo by the outbreak of war and subsequently \'left\' there or whether she was extra to those. I know that several sailed from Spain at about the time of U25\'s refuelling but am finding it hard to discover whether they successfully reached Germany.
Also interesting to note how much Kriegsmarine control over the merchant ships stationed in Spain there was.
If anybody turns anything else up on these matters - and specification info on the ships \'interned\' at El Ferrol and Vigo - then I\'d be glad to hear it.
Cheers
