Warspite salvage plans amid fierce April storm
London April 25 Salvage crews waited for calmer seas to board the veteran battleship Warspite wrecked on a rock off the Cornish coast during a storm. The 31,000 ton vessel, survivor of two wars, was being towed to a salvage yard when she ran aground. A four day gale subsided overnight after killing at least 62 seamen in other wrecks. The Warspite salvage crew of eight was saved. Britain started a relief fund for families of lifeboatmen who perished rescuing 40 men from the British tanker Samtampa off Postie Ball Wales. Early contributions reached 8,000. The Spanish trawler Rosa Mann was also lost with 12 believed dead off Fastnet, Ireland. A sister ship was sunk by winds reaching almost 109 miles per hour. The 35,000 ton liner Maui, storm bound since Monday after completing postwar voyages, berthed in Liverpool and may resume service soon for a New York voyage.
