I am looking for any information relative to the shelling and sinking of the SS Tug Menominee on 31 March, 1942. The tug was sunk of the coast of Delaware by a German U-boat. I wish to develop a journal regarding this tugboat. I lost my oldest brother on theis boast and I believe he may have been the only casualty found. There was two suvivors, the captain and the chief engineer. I will include a partial list of casualties found on the web.I have very limited data other than what is being offered. I do have name of U-boat and copies of its log. Would apreciate any info offered.Thislist of casualties is listed below. Thank you and have a great day.
