Three Roanoke Men Thought to Have Been Lost on British Steamer Marina, Sunk By German Submarine in 1916

From the October 31, 2016, Roanoke (Va.) Times  "Looking Back."

1916, 100 Years Ago.

"Two men of Roanoke -- Jack Davis and J.R.C. Brown -- known to have been on the ill-fated British steamer Marina, sunk by a German submarine while on her way from Glasgow to Newport News, and a third, J.M. Hanley, believed to have joined her crew before she left an American port nearly a month ago, may have been among the seventy members of the steamer's crew who lost their lives."

I'll do some more research.
