The Sinking of HMS Kingston Ceylonite...

HMS Kingston Ceylonite was initially designed and built as a North Sea fishing trawler; seconded into the British Royal Naval Patrol Service as a mine sweeper/hunter.

Once the USA entered WWII, their East Coast found itself under threat from German U-Boats; particularly the area from Chesapeak Bay running south down the coast of the Carolinas.
