Unit / Ship / Est.: HM Submarine E20 

HMS E20 6 November 1915 Torpedoed in Sea of Marmara by UB14 On 30th October 1915 the French submarine Turquoise ran aground near Nagara Point, in the Dardanelles. With the submarine directly under the Turkish shore batteries the French crew hastily abandoned ship. Unfortunately for E20, who was due to rendezvous with the Turquoise, the French Captain had failed to destroy his confidential papers. The Germans now knew of the rendezvous and despatched UB 14 to intercept the unsuspecting E20. UB14 first sighted E20 at 1600 on the 6th November, and 1700 at a range of 550 yards she fired a single torpedo scoring a direct hit.
