She was torpedoed by German submarine , under the command of Kapitänleutnant Hellmuth von Doemming off Cape Peloro at . The ship sank within 25 minutes, but many soldiers were saved because land was relatively close and several ships came to their rescue. Still around 880 lives were lost. ==External links== * (Verona at Uboat.net ) * (Verona at wercksite ) * (I sommergibili tedeschi nello Stretto di Messina ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Verona (1908)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
