SS Fort Camosun had been bound for the United Kingdom on her maiden voyage when she was torpedoed. She survived this attack in part because of the buoyancy of her cargo of plywood and timber. The ship was repaired and sailed once again for the United Kingdom. On that voyage as she was crossing the Atlantic, her convoy came under attack from a German U-Boat. Fort Camosun was unharmed. Still later, Fort Camosun survived another submarine attack in the Gulf of Aden in the Indian Ocean. Thus, SS Fort Camosun earned the dubious distinction of surviving submarine attacks in all three ocean theaters of World War II.
