Wilhelm Gustloff - The Greatest Ship Disaster and Sinking in History

For Gunter Grass: Fiddler Crabwalk

Very interesting site. My Canadian-American grandad's brother, Leman Chapman Urquhart, was captain of the "City of Atlanta" sunk in Jan. 1942 off Avon, NC, Cape Hatteras, with three survivors of 46 (?) aboard (not he) by U123. Here's all his and their graves' record shows:
