Tottenham had joined the 41-ship Convoy OB-327 departing Liverpool 28th May 1941. The convoy dispersed on the 4th June and Tottenham proceeded towards Suez. On 17th June she was spotted by a seaplane from the German commerce raider Atlantis which was steaming disguised as the Norwegian Tamesis. Ignoring a warning shot, Tottenham got a distress message away and opened fire. Atlantis 's 3in. shells proved superior and Tottenham's crew scuttled the ship, which was carrying munitions and war materials, and took to the boats. Atlantis picked up one boat but refused to look for the second which was found eleven days later by the S.S. Mahronda which passed them to a PoW camp in Norway; Teddington was between London and Durban when, on 17th September 1941, she was cornered off Cromer by a German schnelboot which failed to sink her but left her without power. Put under tow, she grounded, caught fire and was bombed by the Lufewaffe which broke her back, whilst partially salvaged, she was finally removed with explosives in 1954. Twickenham was the only one of this trio to survive unscathed, and apart from changing her name to Jag Mata in 1958, she was broken up in 1963.Condition report: Fine overall condition; name plate tarnished
