The Edmund Hugo Stinnes 4 was a German cargo ship . The steamer was built in 1920 by Nordseewerke AG in Emden and delivered to AG Hugo Stinnes for sea shipping and overseas trade, Hamburg.

Sinking

The steamer was on its way from Nordenham to Copenhagen on March 25, 1940 , when it was controlled by the British submarine Truant off Jutland at 56 ° 42 '  N , 8 ° 4'  E according to Prisenrecht and then torpedoed.

Contradictory statements

The sources for the sinking of the Edmund Hugo Stinnes 4 are very contradictory: uboat.net claims that the steamer was sunk by the Truant on March 25, 1940 . wlb-stuttgart.de also mentions the Truant , but gives the date March 23, 1940 and as the commander of the submarine Lt. Cdr. Seale at. According to uboat.net, Seale was in command of the Trident at that time . poseidon-schiffahrts-archiv.eu does not give an exact date, but assigns the sinking of the Trident . home.cogeco.ca gives March 24th 1940 as the date and the Trident as the submarine .
