Hello George, The SURREY was torpedoed and sunk on 10th Jun.1942 by the German submarine U.68 (Merten) in the Atlantic, 150 miles North from Cristobal, Panama in position 12.45N 80.20W while sailing independently on a voyage from New York and Hampton Roads to Sydney, NSW via Panama with general cargo including tanks, ammunition, guns and machinery. The Master, Capt. F. Lougheed, and 34 crew were rescued by the Columbian schooner RESOLUTE and later transferred to the US Destroyer USS EDISON. 20 survivors were picked up by the Dutch ship FLORA and the Panamanian ship POTOMAC and landed at Colon, Panama. 10 crew and 2 gunners were lost. regards Ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Young" <george@georgeyoung.co.uk> To: <TheShipsList-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 8:20 PM Subject: [TSL] SS Surry > > I am looking for details of a ship called SS Surry, this was with the > New Zealand Shipping Co in 1942, I believe it was sunk, where and by > whom I don't know > My uncle George William Young was a member of the crew, nothing is > known, can you help, any suggestions most welcome. > > George A Young > > > ==== TheShipsList Mailing List ==== > *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* A PLACE TO START *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* > Passenger Lists on The Internet > http://members.aol.com/rprost/passenger.html > *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ > > >
