VINCENT
CORRIGAN
Cadet Vincent Corrigan was an
engineering major at the United States Merchant Marine Academy that died aboard
the Liberty Ship, SS Charles C. Pinckey, on January 27, 1943. The ship
was destroyed by a the German Submarine U514 at 2154 GCT about 200 miles of
Pico, Azores while en route from New York to a North African port with cargo of
munitions and heavy mechanized equipment. The sub fired two torpedos at the ship
blowing of the bow just back of the forward end of the first hold. After the crew abandon ship only one out of the three
lifeboats were found, unfortunately Vincent Corrigan was not among the fourteen
that were rescued but of the fifty-nine that were lost at sea.
