Simon Bolivar sinks after mine strike in North Sea
The Netherlands liner Simon Bolivar of 8,309 tons sank off the English east coast after hitting a mine, with about 140 lives feared lost. About 260 survivors were landed at a British port, including crewmen and women and children, amid reports of many seriously injured. The British admiralty accused Germany of mining without warning, terming it a breach of international law. The ship carried 400 people and was built in 1927, with Amsterdam home port. An 11 month old and a young boy among the rescued remained hopeful for word about missing relatives.
