Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsBristol City was the third of three British cargo steamers of that name built for the Bristol City Line and sailed between Bristol and North America between 1920 and 1943.
Construction
Bristol City was built by Charles Hill & Sons of Bristol in 1920. The ship was of Шаблон:GRT, made of steel, and had one 3-cylinder triple expansion engine with a single shaft and one screw. She made 10 knots.[1]
Career
The ship would have plied the service between Bristol and North America which the Bristol City Line started in 1879 and continued until the 1970s.[2] During the Second World War she was damaged by a bomb in December 1940 while in the Albion Dockyard. After repairs, the ship was part of convoys of merchant ships across the Atlantic.
Sinking
In April 1943, Bristol City joined Convoy ONS 5 (outward, northbound, slow) from Britain to North America. The convoy was made up of 42 ships, of which 12 or 13 were sunk after the convoy came under sustained attack from German U-boats hunting in packs.[3] On 5 May at 02:25, Bristol City was south of Greenland and east of Newfoundland when she was sunk by a torpedo fired by Шаблон:GS, under the command of Rolf Manke. Fifteen of the 44 people on board died.[4] Manke fatally damaged Wentworth not long after. Шаблон:HMS picked up the survivors from both ships who were landed at St Johns in Newfoundland.[5]
