That's the one I was thinking of -- thanks Seafarer! I recalled reading about it in Blair's books, but I couldn't remember the details. Or rather, apparently I remembered everything pretty well except the specific boat.
That must have been quite a feeling, being one of the replacement watch and finding that your conning tower had turned into the Marie Celeste. I'm fairly ignorant on war-era U-Boat procedures, but would it have been normal practice for the watch crew to strap in somehow in heavy seas?
