African Star

July 2005
I wanted to give your Museum information on the African Star(you have list
#116). My Uncle Willard Blackburn was on board in 1943 when it was sunk by
torpedo from a German U-172, only one person was lost the others made it
in life boats for two days when rescued. A short account of the event can
be read @seawaves.com
