Disgrifiad
Dyddiad: 17 June 1915.
Adysgrif:
GLASGOW SHIP TORPEDOED.
CAPTAIN AND 21 MEN DROWNED.
A Lloyd's message from Milford Haven says: The Glasgow steamer Strathnairn, which left Penarth on Tuesday for Archangel with coal, was torpedoed the same night 25 miles from the Bishops. 'The captain and 21 of the crew were drowned. Ten Chinamen and the second officer were landed at Milford Haven yesterday afternoon by steam trawler.
SEVEN BRITISH VICTIMS.
The only known British survivor of the Strathnairn, says a Cardiff correspondent, is James Wood, of Belfast, and the seven British victims of the outrage are believed to be, with one exception, all Scotsmen, namely- Captain J. Browne, First Officer Stewart, Third Officer Bruce Evans, Chief Engineer Smith, Second Engineer Pendleton, Third Engineer Houston, Fourth Engineer Fleming. The third officer, Mr Bruce Evans, was a resident of Cardiff.
NO WARNING GIVEN.
Mr Wood said the German submarine acted with great callousness. Absolutely no warning was given, and the boat quickly listed over after the torpedo exploded. No one had seen the submarine until the ship was struck. The four boats were lowered, but three capsized, and he was afraid all in those were lost, although it was not impossible some might have been picked up. The Strathnairn left Cardiff on Tuesday night and was well down towards the Scilly Islands when the outrage was committed.
[The Strathnairn was steamer of 4336 tons, built in 1906 at Port-Glasgow, and owned by the Strathnairn Steamship Company, Limited, Glasgow.]
