On September 26th 1942, the Blue Star liner Andalucia Star, sailed from Buenos Aires for the UK.  She carried the usual large cargo of refrigerated meat and other foodstuffs, and had on board a crew of 170 and 83 passengers. At about 10:0 p.m. on October 6th, the Andalucia Star was torpedoed twice simultaneously. The main engine-room was flooding fast and there was no hope of saving the ship. Passengers and crew mustered at their boat stations.  All the boats were lowered, and with one exception got safely away.  About 20 minutes after the first attack the Andalucia Star was torpedoed a third time. The detonation was so violent that it blew out the starboard side of the ship.  Sign up for updates: Wish list or have it faster: commission it.
