Confusion Over Reported Edgehill Attack And Edgehill Identity
Reports from New York June 29 described an attack on an American merchant vessel amid World War I signals. Conflicting messages suggested the Edgehill was torpedoed southwest of Ireland, though Lloyds lists a ship by that name as renamed and docked in Baltimore, while the Oremar previously bore the Edgehill name. Government officials noted potential neutral law issues if the attacked vessel was American. Marine experts questioned a possible misidentification due to recent Edgehill renaming.
