The 12 man crew managed to escape the submarine in a lifeboat while the Davara later sunk at 2:55pm from the damage inflicted by U-27's gunfire. Her crew remained in the water "baling and rowing" for five hours before they were picked up by the steamer Willowpool and safely made landfall. The Davara was the first British trawler to be sunk by enemy action in World War II.
