Memorial: TOWER HILL MEMORIAL

The MV British Splendour was torpedoed by U 552 off Hatteras Buoy on 6 April 1942. Captain Hall's dramatic account described how his 'ship sank so rapidly and the inrush of water was so great that the Assistant Stewards were trapped in their accommodation and never had a chance to escape. The 2nd Cook was apparently washed from his room to the bottom of the exit and owes his life to this fact. The only survivors from the engine room staff was the 3rd Engineer. He was sleeping on his settee and can only remember being blown into the water on the floor of his room...
