    The claim of sinking a submarine has since been debunked. At the time, the crew only claimed to have wrecked the periscope and conning tower. The sub in question seems to have been UB40, which survived to the end of the war when it was scuttled in the evacuation of Flanders. The US Navy does not claim a sinking.

    Jim Rees, What an interesting story! Thanks for sharing the links to sources regarding the actions of the U.S.S. Mongolia. We will update the record with more information.

    Depending on the exact date this ship is either the P&O Moldavia or Mongolia. Chances are it's the latter because in 1928 the Moldavia was refitted, given a second funnel and upper works painted white. The Mongolia had a surprisingly long life, sailing for a time as the New Zealand steamship Company's Rimutaka and ended her days as the Mexican cruise ship Acapulco.

    She was on her second visit, and cost £1,415,567 [!]. Details of the MONGOLIA (1923) P&O - www.poheritage.com/Content/Mimsy/Media/factsheet/93816MON...

    On her maiden voyage in July 1923, she was pinned against the same wharf (where the Opera House now is) by gale force westerly winds, not being able to depart for four hours. Read All About It - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16080993 .

    beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber :) we posted this pic in response to a comment on an earlier pic of a vessel that was suggested to be MONGOLIA
  • Phillip said:
    It's interesting that the ships operating the branch line of the P&O service were painted with dark upperworks - they must have been hot ships in the summer! Cheers, Phill
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Phillip At the time it seems that all P&O liners had this dark paintwork. Can't find any website which explains it. Can anyone help, please?
