After a surviving a gun battle with SMS U-152 on Sept. 29, 1918 the tanker USS George G. Henry ID-1560 made for New York to repair the damage. Just after midnight on October 4, 1918 while 110 miles southeast of Cape Sable the ship rammed USS Herman Frasch ID-1617. The freighter sank just seven minutes later taking twenty-five men with her. Boats were put over the side and about sixty-five survivors were picked up, but by morning the search was abandoned. |
