On 15 April 1916, the Rotterdam-Lloyd owened Soerakarta was stopped by a U-boat off the SW coast of Ireland at 1830 hours.
The British decoy Q5, better known as Farnborough, under the command of Commander Gordon Campbell arrived at the same time.
A short fight ensued.
The U-boat, according to a Dutch witness as well as to Campbell was badly damaged. Her destruction was rated as "90% certain" by the British.
Except she escaped.
Does anybody know her identity?
Does anybody have a copy of her log?
Please contact me direct.
Many thanks
