Daily Event for September 9


Sept. 9, 1943 The Noss Head, a drifter employed by the Admiralty, sank at Freetown, Sierra Leone, but what
caused the loss? Was it a mine, a torpedo, a midget submarine... no. While loading an engine for a British tank
the rigging broke and the engine crashed through the hull.
