108 years ago today. The troopship HMS Otranto sank off Islay with the loss of 431 lives on 6 October 1918. Her loss, and that of S.S. Tuscania on 5 February 1918 with 260 deaths, is marked by the poignant American Monument on Islay. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/islay/americanmonument/index.html
