On Sat. 13 Jul 1940 German raider Widder sank British ship King John 2.....

On Sat. 13 Jul 1940 German raider Widder sank British ship King John 2.....
German raider Widder sank British ship King John 200 miles northeast of Antigua; 5 crew and 21 survivors of Panamanian ship Santa Margarita (sank on 2 Jul) were taken prisoner. The total prisoner count aboard Widder was now 100, exceeding her capacity, thus some were put to lifeboats so that they could paddle toward islands in the Carribean Sea on their own.
