Oct. 1939, was I in the wrong to deck gun a little English 12ton Schooner?

It was Oct. 1939 and I saw a sail on the horizon. As I got closer, it turned out to be a little 12 ton, three sailed, English Schooner. It looked more like a pleasure boat than a cargo ship. As I got close she began to zigzag in a futile attempt at evasion. Anyway I gave my deck gun crew some practice and we sank it after 2 hits.

Was this bad form or a valid target?
