Coquet Sinks in Mediterranean Battle and Crew Seized
Captain Groom recounts the Coquet’s sinking by an Austrian submarine on January 4 1916 off the African coast. Crew abandoned ship in boats, faced Bedouin attacks and captivity, with only Groom Lord and a few others surviving to reach Marsa Susu. The tale likens the ordeal to Defoe and highlights violations of maritime law.
