On This Day (14th January) – WW2 Shipwreckollections

SS Dalemoor (1922-1945)

The SS Dalemoor was a British cargo ship of 5,796 tons, which, whilst on route from Antwerp to the Thames, struck a mine on its ballast and sunk in the North Sea on January 15, 1945.

When the survivors arrived back in the UK, the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society provided 44 of them with £408/19s worth of financial support, which is the equivalent of £16,184.98 in today’s money.
