My great uncle survived the sinking of
the Tuscania. I have a picture with allot of the survivors that I didn't see
on this site. I'll try to attach it somehow. The pictures:
1) Picture of about 150 men posing, with captions:
"USA 213th Aero Squadron S.C."
[ Picture ]
"Survivors of the S.S. Tuscania, torpedoed 5th February, 1918"
:"Every Man A Volunteer" "Commander Lt. W. P. Norfolk"
2) A Double Picture
On top, is a picture of the Tuscania at sea with the
caption:
"The ill-fated American troopship Tuscania passing through the Submarine
Zone on February 5, the day before she was torpedoed off the Irish coast
with a loss of more than 100 lives."
On the Bottom, is a picture of 100 men posing with a caption that reads:
"Group of American Officers and men who survived the sinking of the
Tuscania, photographed on their arrival at an Irish port."
