[edit] Vidar / Vidal / Conrad

The text says that the M1 was rammed and sunk by the Swedish collier SS Vidar. The Submariners' Association, which seems to be the best single internet source on the M-Class, says that it was sunk by the SS Vidal. Google seems to greatly favour Vidar. A shufty on Google suggests that the author Joseph Conrad was first mate on this ship in the late 1880s, [1] and that it was eventually sunk by U21 in 1940, [2] [3] although it could have been another ship with the same name. -Ashley Pomeroy 14:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
