SS Clearton
SS ''Clearton'' was a British cargo steamship. She was built in 1919 by Richardson, Duck and Company, Stockton-on-Tees for the shipping firm of R. Chapman & Son, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Her homeport was Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
==Career and loss==
In the Second World War she sailed in convoys, carrying food supplies to the United Kingdom. Her last convoy, SL-36, took her from Rosario, Argentina to Manchester, ''via'' Freetown, Sierra Leone, where she arrived on 15 June 1940. She was carrying a cargo of 7,320 tons of cereals, commanded by her Master, John Edward Elsdon.
At 1155 hours on 1 July 1940 torpedoed and damaged ''Clearton'' about 180 miles west of Ushant. The ship fell behind the convoy and at 1325 hours ''U-102'' torpedoed her again, sinking her 042° 240 miles from Smalls. Eight crew members were lost out of a total complement of 34. The Admiralty-modified W-class destroyer sank the submarine, rescued ''Clearton''s Master, 24 crew members and one DEMS gunner, and brought the survivors to Plymouth.
