PS: Clausen - I've not found him on any of the usual wreck/merchant marine WWII memorial lists. Looks like he dodged those bullets at least anywho.
Drift: Two of my uncles served on the SS Queen of Bermuda during the war. The shooting had already started way down yonder. Family lore and legend has it the SE's 40/41 southern cruise, was really a kind of scouting run for the Brits' Operation Tabarin which Davies was also in on.
