The cargo ship Ramillies was built at Sunderland in 1927 for John Cory & Sons of Cardiff. Her end came on May 8, 1941 when U-97, after a chase that lasted almost a day and a half, torpedoed and sank the ship in the mid-Atlantic. The twelve survivors were picked up by SS Geddington Court and landed at Halifax, Nova Scotia. |
