U-boat attack on British freighter fails off Atlantic port
An unsuccessful German submarine attack occurred off the British coast on July 8 against a British freight steamship arriving at an Atlantic port. The U-boat fired two torpedoes, one missing by 18 feet at the stern and the other along the starboard side near the ship. The freighter returned fire, shooting four times at the periscope, the submarine’s visible part, but all shots missed, causing the attacker to withdraw.
