The Senta was a Norwegian steamship ship of 3785 tonnes that was brought down by a German submarine during the Second World War. History
The ship was built in 1917 as Regulus at Union Iron Works shipyard in Alameda, California, for A / S Pacific (A.O. Lindvig) in Kristiania, Norway. In 1938 she was renamed as Sirehav for the shipping company A.I. Langfeldt & amp; Co. in Kristiansand, Norway. In 1939, she was renamed as Senta for the shipping company and owner Skibs-A / S Senta (Ole L. Løkke) in Oslo. The last trip

The loss of the Senta actually coincided with Ashworth's demise, around 06.22 and 06.23 on October 13, 1942. The U-221, commanded by Hans-Hartwig Trojer, fired a torpedo towards the two ships that in convoy SC-104, about 500 nautical miles east of Belle Isle Street. She noticed how the first ship sank after 20 minutes and the second ship was flaming and flaming by her crew.
On October 13, at 07.10, another attack was made and Trojer claimed to have made a torpedo victim on a ship that was later sank into the sea with her rear ship and in a sinking state, but this was not detected by allied sources confirmed. The Senta was hit immediately after Ashworth but the bar bad weather made it hard to find out what exactly happened. Both ships apparently fell down with all hens still on board before the rescue ship reached their tight positions. The Senta was lost in position 53 ° North and 44 ° West.
The Senta, with captain Conrad Rustad as captain, had a crew of 27 Nores, six British and two Swedish crew members. All came to life. Externe link
