North Sea:
Dutch fishing ship Primavera departed Ymuiden on March 7. Last seen on March 14, not heard from again.
 
British trawler Carrington, 194 tons, departs Boston, Lincolnshire, and is not heard from again. This conflicts with a report filed four days later of Norwegian SS Torquay being lost after a collision with Carrington.
