Queen Mary WW2 sinking cruiser

January 18th, 2009

We are now working on volume 2 of our QM set covering the period
1936-46.

We run run into a problem with the exact spelling of the name of the
cruiser sunk in WW2. Even places like NMM and IWM have differrent
spellings

Was it CuracOA
or
Was it CuracOA

The latter seems to be the concensus of opinion, the former being a mis-
reading for the Venezuela port.

Perhaps a war ship enthisiast may have and answer.
