On this date in 1940 the 825 ton Limerick registered SS Kerry Head was attacked by a German bomber. The attack, the second on the well marked neutral ship that year, was seen from Cape Clear Island near the southern tip of Ireland. The bombs hit their target. Captain Charles Drummond, my great uncle, and the other eleven crew members had their lives snuffed out— the ship and bodies lost without trace. 22 October 2018
