The Burlington (formerly the Nauseea) was bound from Batum to Cartagena under Loyalist charter, laden with 7700 tons of oil. The Burlington belongs to the same line as the British tanker Woodford, which was torpedoed by an unknown submarine when bound from Barcelona to Valencia, 18 miles from the Spanish coast.
