About Urania

This was a Norwegian Barkentine Vessel. She was used to transport phosphate Rocks. She sank on March 28, 1917 when she got hit by a torpedo from a nearby German UC 42. Sveral crew members were killed in this incident. She sank shortly after. The remaining crew members were saved by another vessel, which was also hit by a torpedo soon after. A very interesting dive.
