So what exactly did happen to the ship, to have sunk to the bottom of the ocean? Well, it turns out the SS Gairsoppa that was a built shipyard in 1919, was on its way home to Liverpool from India in 1941. This happened during the service of the Ministry of War Transport. It had been forced to be separated from the Merchant Navy convoy that was protected by Royal Navy destroyers. It was unfortunately torpedoed by German U-boats.
