Luftwaffe raid 11.10.1940 on Liverpool

Hello friends,

Chonology of WW2 at sea gives the losses for that raid with 4 ships badly damaged for 34.744 BRT.

From Lloyd´s War Losses I have only the steamer Clan Mactaggert, (7622 BRT) and motorship Highland Chieftain (14.135 BRT) damaged on this date in Liverpool.

Can someone give me the data for the other damaged ships and about the attack.

Thank you

Darius

Hallo Darius,

The other two appear to be the steamships Clan Cumming (7,264 gross tons) and the Virgilia (5,723 gross tons), both British registered.

From BRITISH VESSELS LOST AT SEA, 1939-45 (List III, British Merchant and Fishing Vessels Damaged by Enemy Action but Not Lost). HMSO, 1947. Reprinted by Patrick Stephens Ltd., 1976/77 and 1988.

If you need more details on the ships I suggest you try the Ship Forum on the Norwegian Merchant Fleet 1939-1945 website.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
