I managed to find the following in the Loyds Register:
25.8.40 SS "Goathland" under british flag. 3821 gross tons. Sailed from Pepel (Sierra Leone??) to Belfast with a load of iron ore. First attacked by aircraft in pos. 50 degrees 21 mins North, 15 degrees 8 mins West. Ship sank in pos. 50 degrees 7 mins North, 14 degrees 50 mins West. All 36 hand on board were rescued.
