The plane dropped two bombs, neither of which exploded, but cannon fire ripped through Akranes deck and caused her to sink, leaving her wheelhouse and forecastle awash.
The crew escaped in their own lifeboat. My dad was one of the crew. Dad told me that he had called up the stoker, Ginge, telling him the ship was sinking. I'm not sure whether this was the same event as he was sunk a couple of times.
Years later a British Diver found the wreck, and described it as well broken. Divers found an unexploded lb bomb inside the wreck. The wreck lies in 11 meters of water in position On Sept 8th that the ship was sunk off Humber. He had a lucky escape there as it blew up.
