Admiral Graf Spee Continues
Blowing Shit Up

SAT 7 OCT 1939
German armored ship Admiral Graf Spee stops and boards British freighter Ashlea in the South Atlantic at 09°00'S, 03°00'W, and after transferring her crew to Newton Beech, sinks Ashlea with demolition charges.

U.S. freighter Black Heron is detained by British authorities at Weymouth, England (see 16 October).
