U-465 reported having sunk a freighter, probably the Fort Concord. The Master, 28 crew and eight gunners were lost. The Chief Officer J.B. Tunbridge, 17 crew and one passenger (DBS) were rescued by the HMCS Drumheller (K 167) (Lt-Cdr Leslie P. Denny) and landed at Londonderry. On 18 May, U-103 (Janssen) sighted a raft with five survivors from the Fort Concord and took J. Oxton, the 15 year old ship�s boy and the second engineer, Huxley, as prisoners on board. U-103 gave food and water to the remaining three survivors (two Indians and a Japanese) and left the area, but those men were never found.
