Lisbon 2018 – Museu de Marinha – Minesweeper Augusto de Castilho engaged in combat with the German sub U139
The Augusto de Castilho was escorting the merchant ship Sao Miguel, when the São Miguel was attacked by the German submarine U-139 on October 13, 1918. The Augusto de Castilho engaged with the far superior sub, allowing the São Miguel to escape. After two hours of combat several of the Portuguese sailors were dead, including the captain Carvalho Araújo. The survivors were put on life boats by the Germans and the Augusto was sunk. See here for a film of the aftermath of the battle.
