From
http://www.uboat.net/allies/merchants/ships/2685.html

"Between 22.17 and 22.20 hours on 23 Feb, 1943, U-202 fired four bowtorpedoes at the convoy UC-1 about 400 miles south of the Azores anddamaged the Murena, British Fortitude and Empire Norseman. At 22.21hours, the stern torpedo was fired, which hit the Esso Baton Rouge.

The Esso Baton Rouge (Master James S. Poche) in station #43 was struck bythe torpedo on the starboard side between the engine room and aftbunkers. The explosion carried away the bulkhead between the tanks andthe engine room, filled the latter compartment with burning oil, killedone officer and one man on watch below and stopped the engines. Debrisflew over 50 feet in the air and one armed guard was killed. As the shipstarted to settle by the stern, the eight officers, 35 men and 25 armedguards (the ship was armed with one 4in, one 3in and eight 20mm guns)abandoned ship in three lifeboats, after three rafts were carried away,because the ship still had headway. Within 90 minutes all survivors werepicked up by HMS Totland (Y 88) (LtCdr L.E. Woodhouse, RN). The tankerfinally sank by the stern about 04.00 hours the next morning. Two crewmembers and one armed guard, all seriously burned from flaming oil, weretreated on the sloop and put ashore at Antigua on 4 March. The remainingsurvivors were transferred to the Dutch steam merchant Maaskerk andarrived in Trinidad on 6 March."
