Burial/memorial information
On 3 March 1918, at 2:40 am, the Romeo was about 10 miles (16 km) south of the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse, Scotland, when she was torpedoed by U-102. She sank in less than two minutes north-west of Peel, Isle of Man, in the Irish Sea, position 54°22'N/04°52'W. Of the 37 sailors and gunners, two were recovered by the SS Ardgarvel and landed at Greenock, Scotland. The only other survivor was rescued by a trawler, the Irish patrol vessel Kilgobnet, and brought back to Holyhead, Wales, on 4 March.
