HS Tenerife
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2005 3:01 am
Hello!
I´m looking for any kind of information about hamburg-südamerikanische line, since 1871 to 1945. And, above all, of the merchant ship named Tenerife (1922-1939), sunk in denmark strait in an encounter with the armed merchant cruiser HMS Transylvania. This episode is very interesting, and also the sinking of HMS Transylvania one year later, torpedoed by U-56.
HS Tenerife: 4996 tn; 10 knots; armament?
HMS Transylvania: 16.923 tn; 15.5 knots; 8/152mm; 2/76mm.
Saludos.
