 BRITISH STEAMER
Big British Freighter Is Sent to the Bottom By Submarine Off
 Atlantic Coast.
The British steamer Diomed was submarined and sunk off the coast, Over one hundred of her crew have been rescued.

The Diomed is a large freight steamer owned by the Ocean Steam ship company of Liverpool, formerly known as the Holt Line, and owned by Alfred Holt. She is specially built for the Far Eastern cargo carrying trade and is fitted with a greater number of cargo matches than is usual on ocean freighters with facilities for rapid handling of freight.

Their trade before the war took the boats out from Liverpool to the Far East via the Suez Canal Seattle and Tacoma also being their regular ports of call. Most of the boats of this line are now in the service of the British government as transports.
