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.

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.
