• ... that HMT Night Hawk was sunk on Christmas Day 1914 while trawling for mines off Scarborough, England?

• Source: "Christmas Day came with sadness. The mine- sweepers were busily at work as usual. Among them was the Grimsby trawler Night Hawk, which had been operating between Flamborough Head and Whitby. At the end of her day's work on Christmas Eve she had gone into Whitby, and next morning came out at seven o'clock; but off Scarborough she struck a mine, and the vessel went down in less than ten seconds." from: Chatterton, Edward Keble (1923). The Auxiliary Patrol. Sidgwick & Jackson. pp. 55–56.
