Personal information
Haurum Soren Sorensen became an American citizen in 1936 and lived in San Francisco, CA.
The crew of Star of Scotland immediately struck sails and abandoned ship in the lifeboats when U-159 began to shell the sailing vessel, but the second mate Haurum S. Sorensen fell overboard when launching the first boat and was not seen again. The U-boat later assisted in searching him by towing a lifeboat around the area for two hours but he apparently drowned.
