The Sinking Of The SS Athenia

Hello everyone, welcome back to a new video! In today's video, we will talk about a wreck that marked history the first UK ship to be sunk by Germany during World War II. We will discuss the sinking of the SS Athenia, which accounted for the Donaldson Line's greatest single loss of life at sea. Today, we will cover her entire life, from her building up to her tragic sinking. I just want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your support and engagement in the comments section. Your feedback, thoughts, and suggestions are incredibly valuable to me, and I love hearing from all of you. So, please don’t hesitate to leave your comments below and let me know what you think. If there are any particular ships you’d like me to cover in the future, please share them in the comments as well. Thank you all!

Jamie. This was a fascinating video. I really enjoyed watching this. Lots of images I have never seen before of this interesting ship. Hope you are doing well my friend!
Can you look into the Scuttling of the German Liner SS COLUMBUS of NDL. Scuttled off the coast of Virginia on December 19th, 1939 while trying to outrun the British to get back to Germany.
