Abstract
The British ultimatum to Germany had not yet expired when the first blow of the war fell upon the Eagle Oil Tanker fleet. The 9000 ton “San Wilfrido”, which had only been commissioned to the fleet four months earlier, struck a mine in the mouth of the River Elbe, on 3rd August 1914. She was on her way in ballast from Cuxhaven to a British port and had a German pilot on board. Fortunately, there was no loss of life, but the Master, Captain C H Williams and forty officers and crew were interned and had to suffer the ignominy and tedium of four long years in a German prison camp.
