Many Deep Sea Trawlers were armed, during the war and Passenger Liners were used as troop carriers or Hospital Ships., I came across one of the latter, between The Northern Irish & Scottish Coasts. At first I thought it might be a troop ship, but on discovering that it was a Hospital Ship, I increased speed so that I could get a closer look, as I passed it. I then changed course and left the ship to continue her journey. Not far from the same area, there is a Lightship anchored of the tip of Ireland.
