   The 518 gross-ton cargo ship PATRICIA SWEENEY

left New York for Yarmouth, Nova Scotia around 8 March

and, about 2200 on 10 March, in stormy weather

south-west of Cape Sable, her cargo shifted and she

took on a heavy list.

   The situation became so dangerous that the

crew abandoned ship and took to the ship’s lifeboat

and 30 minutes later they saw PATRICIA SWEENEY

roll over and sink.

USCGC CASTLE ROCK was on East Coast patrol

and was tasked to attend and, at 1854 on

12 March, picked up the nine survivors near Cape Sable,
