Information: By kind permission of Mr Billy
McGee from his book "They Shall Grow Not Old"
Cargo ship Castlemoor, 6,574grt (Runciman Shipping
Co.) had loaded a cargo of steel ingots in Philadelphia as well as 2,403
barrels of apples for Middlesbrough and sailed to Halifax, Nova Scotia
where she joined up with the Liverpool bound 55 ship Convoy HX-20 which
left Halifax on the 16th February 1940.
The ship was sighted by the SS Dalemoor on the 23rd
February in position 46’ 14N 36’ 04W and again by the SS Royal on the 25th.
Nothing more was ever of the ship and her forty man crew.
The ship was officially reported missing/untraced
April 17th and a Joint Arbitration and Missing Ship Committee
considered her lost 25th February wholly from “Marine Peril”.
No U-Boat ever claimed to have sunk this vessel. However the ship’s loss
must have happened very quickly as no distress signal was ever
transmitted
