historydavid Posted 6 November , 2006 Share Posted 6 November , 2006 Chris, there seems to be some doubt about the actual date of the collision, either 3rd or 4th, I have seen both quoted. The 3rd is listed in the Admiralty record. The Klondyke was 155 tons. Best wishes David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb Robinson Posted 8 November , 2006 Share Posted 8 November , 2006 [Robb Robinson Nove 8 2006] Does anyone know anything about this trawler being involved in collison on or about 3/6/1916 - any details would be greatly appreciated Chris [Klondyke was a boxing fleet trawler before war service. Hull had four such fleets that worked in the North Sea prior to the Great War. One vessel from one of the fleets still survives with her steam engines still intact. She is the Viola and now lies at the abandoned whaling station at Grytviken in South Georgia. She too was requisitioned during the Great War and involved in the sinking of the UB-30. During the Falklands War the Argentininan submarine Santa Fe was disabled by military action in the bay where she lies.
