This steamship was travelling to Falmouth with a cargo of mines, depth charges, firing pistols and torpedo detonators. UB-55 fired a torpedo into her and it is believed she sunk within 2 minutes of the explosion leaving debris and 97 mines on the surface. 35 of her crew were killed.
The wreck lies upright in two main sections. She is easily identifiable because of the many mines and depth charges.
