Norwegian Steamer Anna loaded with Timber in a gale. 1917 she was stopped and boarded by U16 on a voyage from Almeria to Glasgow with Esparto Grass. She was sunk by scuttling, no casualties.

Thank you both. These ships often arrived at their destination with a list*. This could be because one side of the deck cargo kept getting wet due to the direction of the prevailing weather. The timber on that side absorbing more water, and the cargo shifting. Quite a few ships were lost due to this.
