Sinking on June 15, 1942

the " S.S. Cherokee "

lost " 86 " men !

( " 3 " officers, " 62 " crewmen, " 1 " armed guard and " 20 " passengers lost their lives )
Accounted for below are all " 65 " Merchant Mariners and the " 1 " Navy armed guard,
However only " 2 " of the passengers are currently known !

     The steam passenger ship " S.S. Cherokee " was built and completed in 1925 by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia for the Clyde-Mallory Lines (Agwilines Inc.), New York and was a 5,896 ton ship.
     On June 15, 1942 the " S.S. Cherokee " was part of convoy XB-25 and was enroute from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Boston, Massachusetts with a cargo of 350 tons of sand ballast, " 46 " U.S. Army passengers and a crew of 123 ( " 9 " officers, " 103 " merchant mariners, and " 11 " U.S. Navy Armed Guards ).   They were hit by "two" torpedos fired by German Submarine U-87 northeast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
     The "first" torpedo stuck on the port side under the bridge.   The explosion lifted the vessel out of the water, destroyed the chart house and incoming water gave the ship a sharp list to port.   The "second" torpedo hit the port bow 90 seconds later, causing the ship to sink by the bow with a 60 degrees list to port within six minutes.   The rough seas and the extreme list prevented the launching of lifeboats and only seven rafts were cut loose.   " 3 " officers, " 62 " crew men, " 1 " armed guard and " 20 " passengers died.

The ship Master/Captain of the S.S. Cherokee was:
Twiggs E. Brown
who was one of the 39 survivors of the Cherokee's sinking !

     The following below list was created in the memory of those who "Gave Their All" on the " S.S. Cherokee ".   There are personal "online memorials" for each of these honored men that were created for them by using the "Find A Grave" website.   You will see a blue " Yes " behind their names and by clicking on the " Yes " you will see a personal memorial that has been created for them by myself or someone else.
