Empire Mica - British War Grave

SHAMU-06 · 03-24-21, 01:29 PM

The Empire Mica was an Empire class tanker torpedoed in the Gulf of Mexico close to shore off Cape San Blas and Cape St George on 29 JUN 1942. She is a war grave. Captain Anderson’s Restaurant in Panama City, Florida now has her propeller displayed in front of their restaurant. Thirty three merchantmen and Royal Navy Gunners died aboard her. Most of these men burned to death. I guess little is sacred any more?
