Loch Lomond

[City of Vancouver Archives, CVA 447-2414]
At 07.20 hours on 20 Oct 1940 the un-escorted Loch Lomond, a straggler from convoy HX-79, was torpedoed by U-100 southwest of Rockall. The ship had rescued 72 survivors from the Matheran and fell behind the convoy.
 
The U-boat began shelling the abandoned ship at 14.15 hours until she sank after 79 shells were fired. One crew member was lost. The master, 38 crew members and all survivors were picked up by HMS Jason (J 99) and landed at Methil.
