May 15, 1918 the freighter War Grange was torpedoed about 7 miles north of Towan Head, Newquay, England. The explosion killed five of the crew, but the ship failed to sink and was run aground at Towan Beach where she remained until repaired. The ship had been built in 1917 and under the control of the shipping controller. In 1919 she was sold to Italian owners and renamed Giglio, a little less than ten years later on Apr. 5, 1928 she was wrecked off Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, France.
