The steam passenger ship " S.S. Cherokee " was built and completed in 1925 by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia for the Clyde-Mallory Lines (Agwilines Inc.), New York and was a 5,896 ton ship.

         On June 16, 1942 the " S.S. Cherokee " was part of convoy XB-25 and was enroute from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Boston, Massachusetts with a cargo of 350 tons of sand ballast, " 46 " U.S. Army passengers and a crew of 123 ( " 9 " officers, " 103 " merchant mariners, and " 11 " U.S. Navy Armed Guards ).   They were hit by " two " torpedos fired by " German Submarine U-87 " northeast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

         The " FIRST " torpedo stuck on the port side under the bridge.   The explosion lifted the vessel out of the water, destroyed the chart house and incoming water gave the ship a sharp list to port.

         The " SECOND " torpedo hit the port bow 90 seconds later, causing the ship to sink by the bow with a 60 degrees list to port within six minutes.   The rough seas and the extreme list prevented the launching of lifeboats and only seven rafts were cut loose.   " 3 " officers, " 62 " crew men, " 1 " armed guard and " 20 " passengers died.

The ship Master/Captain of the " S.S. Cherokee " was:

Twiggs E. Brown

who was one of the 39 survivors of the Cherokee's sinking !

The following below list was created in the memory of those who
" Gave Their All "
on the
" S.S. Cherokee " !
