The U-boat had chased the ship for eight hours and missed with a first torpedo at 00.15 hours. The Germans waited for the crew to abandon ship in the lifeboats after sending a distress signal and then opened fire with the deck gun, scoring eleven hits with 22 rounds. The final torpedo at 02.20 hours struck the ship and caused her to quickly sink by the stern. No survivors were ever found: the master, 41 crew members and seven gunners were lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/45947_0016-02185-700x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/45947_0016-02185-700x450.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/45947_0016-02185-250x161.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/45947_0016-02185-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/45947_0016-02185-1536x987.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/45947_0016-02185-2048x1316.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/45947_0016-02185-120x77.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Isaac-Morris-700x407.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Isaac-Morris-700x407.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Isaac-Morris-250x145.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Isaac-Morris-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Isaac-Morris-1536x894.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Isaac-Morris-2048x1192.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Isaac-Morris-120x70.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Isaac Morris Fireman &amp; Trimmer, S.S.
