HMS Tara (formerly the Holyhead-Dublin packetHibernia) was a British patrol vessel of the Great War. On the fifth of November 1915 she was captured off the north African coast near the German U-Boatbase at Port Suliman by a German submarine which sank the vessel and took the crew prisoner. The prisoners were handed over to the Turks who subsequently passed the prisoners on to the Senussi Arabs who treated them badly. After several months of harsh captivity the crew were rescued by an armoured car expedition led by the duke of Westminster. Research Tara
