Military history

PORTSMOUTH NAVAL MEMORIAL Panel 74, Column 1.

SS Harmala

SS Harmala was a British steam merchantman. At 04.11 hours on 7 Feb 1943, U-614 fired a spread of three torpedoes at convoy SC-118 southeast of Cape Farewell and observed two detonations on the target and one on a ship beyond. However, the only ship hit was the Harmala (Master Harry Chessman Walker), which sank. The master, 31 crew members, ten gunners, including Albert Brown, Able Seaman Horace Hearson from Nottingham, and one naval signalman were lost. Eleven crew members were picked up by FFL Lobelia (K 05) (Capt P. de Morsier) and landed at Greenock. (uboat.net)
