SS City of BremenSunk by aircraft - Bay of Biscay - 2nd June 1942
At 6pm on 2 June 1940, The City of Bremen (Saorstait and Continental Lines) was transporting grain from Lisbon to Dublin when she was bombed by a Junkers 88 bomber and sunk. The crew were rescued by a Spanish fishing trawler.
One of the crew, George Gerrassimoff, was Russian. It was feared that he might not be welcome because of the recent Spanish Civil War, so he was named "Paddy Murphy"
