Both destroyers had expended all depth charges and were now weaponless in attacking the enemy down below. By then God feeling a wee bit vexed thought he’d make the front end next. The Veendam and a British freighter Collingsworth participated in the rescue, fishing survivors from the oily waters. Published by the Courageous Society 2008. It was the carrier Courageous. The U-29 was a Type VIIA U-boat, an oceangoing boat which had four bow and one stern torpedo tube. Donitz noted gleefully in his diary A wonderful success.
Just 500 yards away, while the torpedoes were still making its run, Schuhart observed through his periscope lens as one of the destroyers sailed by, still unaware of the impending attack. HMS Courageous sinking after being torpedoed by U-29.

Two of her destroyer escorts (out of four) and Swordfish biplanes from the Courageous were dispatched to the area of the Kafristan sinking to hunt Heinicke. Then, in the creaking silence of U-boats pressure hull, the crew heard two resounding explosions. To evade, he dived deep to a depth of 180 feet, the deepest he had ever dived. The decision was taken to purchase the bench as a permanent memorial to those of our crew mates who have crossed the bar. At the 2018 reunion our pre dinner grace was offered by the President, David Wixon. We also found that the Arboretum as a whole is a great place to visit and walk round and proved a fitting memorial to the many services it commemorates.
