SS Cynthia Olson (L)

On Dec. 7, 1941, just minutes before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese submarine I-26 attacked and sank the unarmed SS Cynthia Olson about 1000 miles northeast of Hawaii, making her the first American flag merchant ship to be sunk by a Japanese submarine. I-26 attacked with her deck guns from a surface position, and although an unknown number of men had manned the lifeboats, no survivors were ever found. The last thing heard from the Cynthia Olson was an SOS received at 1838 GCT, " . . . under attack by a surfaced submarine."
