Re: Richard De Larrinaga
Hi, thanks for your query here is the info I have.
Liverpool steamer Richard De Larrinaga was sailing in ballast from Manchester for Galveston when it was torpedoed and sunk by U-57 15 miles SE by 0.5 miles south of Ballycotton Island,Cork Ireland. All thirtyfive lives were lost. Date 8 Oct 1917.
My grandfather was 3rd Engineer and there is a plaque to him on the WarMemorial at Tower Hill, it may be there is one for your relative. Try looking up the War Graves Commission.
Hope this is of some help
