Manager: Wallem & Co., Hong Kong
Tonnage: 3193 gt.

Built in Sunderland in 1904. Previous names: Nord until 1932, Hai Shang until 1937.

Final Fate - 1942:

Nord was on a voyage from Calcutta to Rangoon with a cargo of 2500 tons of coal when she was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-66 on Jan. 21-1942 and sunk 15 28N 94 36E, no casualties.

Charles Hocking simply gives the position as "Preparis North Channel" and adds that a few survivors were reported to have landed in Burma. J. Rohwer lists the submarine I-166 (Yoshitome). In a footnote he explains that the Japanese fleet submarines 1-53 to 1-75 were renumbered in May of 1942 and became I-153 to I-175. To avoid confusion with the war built submarines he refers to those boats using their later numbers; in other words I-66 and I-166 is one and the same boat.
