Re: Damage to Treverrack on 29.12.1940
Always worth googling the name of a ship ...
This site http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuil...ip.asp?id=5508 mentions that she was damaged by aircraft on 13 March 1941 and this one that on 8 June 1941 she was torpedoed and sunk by U-46 at 48.46N 29.14W on a voyage from Glasgow to Montreal. Nothing on your incident though. |

Thank you Nick,
my source was KTB Skl. for Dezember 1940: "...gegen 1130 Uhr Angriff gegen Konvoi SLS 58 (?) nw Tory Island, dabei Df Treverrack beschädigt... " (this is not a quote) Lloyd´s War Losses give the position of the attack as 53.25n03.45w Greetings Darius |

Hello Darius
The "Trevarrack" was attacked by a Condor at 11.25 a.m , 200 km NW of Londonderry, with 2 SC 250 of which 1 hit mid -ship. The hit caused a big explosion( motor ?), 30 ° listing after 1 min. Ship's loss was annouced as probable by the crew. Hope this helps Regards Marc PS : Darius, didn't you ask for a combat report last Week ? If so please let me know your PM |

According to the book 'Scourge of the Atlantic' by Kenneth Poolman the TREVARRACK was part of the unescorted SLS58 when attacked.
