Stuart Brown Posted 10 February , 2004 Share Posted 10 February , 2004 I have an interest in a man who died on the above ship on 11/06/1918 . Whether the ship was sunk or not I do not know. I have searched the web with no result. I have checked the book Shipwrecks around Britain, a diver's guide, again with no result. Does anyone have information on the S.S. Lorle please.

Arthur Posted 12 February , 2004 Share Posted 12 February , 2004 Stuart, A little further information regarding S.S. Lorle. She was on a voyage from Bilbao to Heysham with a cargo of iron ore when she was torpedoed by UB103. Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
