Het verlies van de s.s Bennkom 1941

The Dutch steamship s.s. Bennekom was in Convoy Os 10 bound from Liverpool to the United States. On October 31st, 1941, the convoy was attacked by the German submarine U-96 560 miles W. of Fastnet (Ireland).

The Bennekom was hit by a torpedo and sank with the loss of nine of her crew.
Van de 56 opvarenden komen er negen om in de golven. Zes van hen zijn vrijwillig overboord gesprongen om naar een in zee drijvend dekluik te zwemmen als blijkt dat er te weinig plaats is in het laatste reddingsvlot. De 46 overlevenden kunnen worden gered door de HMS 'Curver'. De 'Bennekom' is het vierde Nederlandse schip, dat door de 'U 96' tot zinken wordt gebracht. De onderzeeboot die de s.s. 'Bennekom' tot zinken brengt is later bekend geworden als Das Boot. In 1981 is er een speelfilm over de U-96 gemaakt, op basis van het boek van Lothar-Günther BUCHHAM.
Het vrachtschip de s.s. Bennekom 1917-1941 was een koopvaardijschip van de KNSM : Koninklijke Nederlandsche Stoomboot-Maatschappij N.V.
