SS Irish Willow (1918)

• ( Back to T:TDYK
• Article history )

• ... that on 16 March 1942 (the day before St Patrick's Day), St Patrick was toasted in the conning tower of U-boat U-753 as they awaited orders from Germany on whether or not to sink the Irish Willow?

• ALT1:... that the Empire Breeze was torpedoed and its crew were in lifeboats, in dense fog, and search and rescue missions by the rescue ship Stockport, the rescue tug HMS Frisky (W 11) and the Canadian corvette HMCS Rosthern (K 169) were all abandoned, and they were rescued by the Irish Willow (using direction finding equipment rather than dead reckoning)?

• 16px This comprehensive article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are accepted in good faith, the source being offline. The article is neutral but I was unable to assess whether there was any close paraphrasing because of lack of access to the sources. I do not believe that Lugnad needs to do a QPQ review.
