SS Britannia was bound from the United Kingdom to India when she was intercepted by the German raider Thor, 3,862 tons, six 5.9 in. guns, 720 miles W. of Freetown. There was an unequal action for over an hour, the liner putting up a stout fight with her single gun. At the end of this time she was compelled to stop and lower her boats.
The Thor then sank her by gunfire, but made no attempt to help the survivors. The action took place on March 25th, 1941. Later one boat containing 63 persons was picked up by the Spanish steamer Bachi, 3,077 tons. Another with 38 persons reached Brazil after a voyage of 23 days. Of the 203 crew and 281 passengers, 122 of the crew and 127 passengers lost their lives.
