Jim,
Don't you mean Llandovery Castle? The U-boot skipper was condemned to a meagre 4 years. However, he had gone into hiding and was never seen again. This punishment was ridiculously low and would result in a show-trial after WWII when the Allies hanged a few U-boot crewmen after an incident the nature of which still puzzles me. I also recall that one or perhaps more of the WWI hospital ship sinkings was/were honest mistakes.
Check out www.uboat.net, an excellent site.
Kind regards,
Reinout
