Summary
| Description |
English: Remembrance for the Drowned This memorial, at the entrance to the Chiesa Italiana di San Pietro, Holborn, London, recalls the sinking of Blue Star Lines Arandora Star by U-47 on 7th July 1940, under the command of Gunther Prien - a highly rated captain of the German U-Boat corps who had successfully entered Scapa Flow and sunk the British Cruiser Royal Oak in 1939. The Arandora Star was carrying civilian German and Italian internees from Liverpool to Canada. Over 800 lives were lost. Subsequently, the British government altered its policy towards internees and held them within the British Isles. There is currently a campaign seeking an apology from the British government for the policy decisions that led to these deaths.
