Hello again everyone,  Michael, excellent job on picking up the Russian SKIFTET 336/08 built by Wm.

My source for the data is a book titled Tin-Pots & Pirate Ships by Michael L. Hadley & Roger Sarty McGill-Queen's University Press. Unfortunately, it contains no ghost uboat or sea serpent stories. I'm looking forward to see

In the conning tower section, the following should be added to the Successes of U140. PORTO, Portuguese barque 1079/85,built by Mcmillan Dumbarton as GARTMORE later became BADEN and Sunk as Porto on 27.7.18. Kpt/lt Kophamel took about 5 hours to transfer stores from PORTO before freeing her crew and scuttling her. PORTO was carring barrel staves and 600 bales of cotton to Oporto from Sava
