Forty-six were German civilian detainees who were being shipped from Britain to Canada for internment when their ship, was torpedoed by a German U-boat, , off Tory Island, County Donegal, in July 1940. Dr Hermann Görtz, an Abwehr spy, is also buried there. Dr Görtz committed suicide after the war when he was informed he would be deported; he feared he would be handed over to the Soviet Union.
