Hi all,

Came across this and wanted to share in case there are some who may be interested:

Per uboat.net:

The Dalton was a British steamer, weighing in at 3,486 tons that was built in 1904 by R. Craggs & Sons, Ltd., Middlesbrough. There were 3 casualties in the attack.

This picture is from the pages of Wiener Bilder. If you are interested in a full size picture, please PM me.

They say she was armed. From her broken back she was presumably torpedoed.

Indeed she was torpedoed and than finished off with 71 shots from U 29's deck gun.
