so that brings us to the mirlow, the last vessel lost off north carolina. we're unclear again where this is. this was a british tanker. i have it here saying it was sunk by a torpedo. there was speculation whether it was sunk by a torpedo or sunk by a mine. we know that mines were laid in this area by the 117. and some of the war diaries are confusing as to what vessel it hit with torpedoes versus where it laid mines. it's possible it struck a mine. i would suggest it's more likely that it struck a mine than was torpedoed. particularly given the crummyness of the torpedoes of the era. often just bounced off your ship. this story is of particular significance and interest to the u.s. coast guard. so this was -- it struck a mine just about 10 miles off of wimble shoals and was carrying fuel. there were thousands of gallons of fuel oil immediately spilled into the ocean and burst into flames. there were 52 crewmen aboard and they began immediately to abandon ship. one of the lifeboats turned over into the fire while the others were able to kind of cobble and g
