This is considered to be the worst loss of life in the sinking of a single British ship, and the bloodiest single engagement for UK forces (in terms of lives lost) in all of WW2. This disaster claimed more lives than the combined losses of the Titanic and Lusitania. (Source | Photo)
The Ford Model T was an American car built between 1908 and 1928 by the Ford Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan. It is one of the most important cars in history because it was one of the first cars to be sold for very little money, making it easy for people to travel from place to place.
Of the 14,689,520 Model Ts manufactured in the USA a total of 1,655,305 were not cars (11.26%). Total number of cars: 13,034,215. Of the 757,430 Model Ts manufactured in Canada it is estimated that not less than 83,300 (11%) were not cars. Estimated maximum number of cars: 674,130. Of the just under 300,000 Model Ts manufactured in Great Britain a total of not more than 135,000 were cars (45%).
