Saltzwedel believed the disguised ship was a merchant vessel. The U-boat submerged and closed with ''Dunraven'' before surfacing astern at 11:43 am and opening fire at long range. ''Dunraven'' made smoke and sent off a panic party (a small number of men who "abandon ship" during an attack to continue the impersonation of a merchant).

SS Dunraven
SS ''Dunraven'' was built in Newcastle upon Tyne at the C. Mitchell and C. Iron Ship Builders and was launched on 14 December 1872. The ship was owned by a Mr W. Milburn. Powered by both sail and steam, she was planned for the route from Britain to Bombay. Three years later, in January 1876, she set sail from Liverpool loaded with steel and timber bound for Bombay. There the cargo was sold and she was reloaded with spices, cotton and muslin for the return journey. It was generally an uneventful journey and she reached the Red Sea approaches to the Suez Canal on 25 April. Thinking they were further up the Gulf of Suez than they actually were, Captain Care and the 25-man crew sailed the ship straight into a reef. The ship stuck fast south of Beacon Rock at the southern end of the furthest reaches of what is now the Ras Muhammad National Park on the outside of Sha'ab Mahmoud. The crew worked frantically to dislodge her, and 14 hours after striking the rock she slid off. This mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
