The Tolten was a 280' long freighter built in 1938. She was powered by an oil-fired steam engine turbine engine. She was sunk by a torpedo from the German U-boat, U-404 early in the morning of March 14, 1942 off the coast of New Jersey, USA. There was only one survivor. The Tolten owns the distinction of being the last ship torpedoed during the war to be written about in the newspapers by name. The War Department stopped the announcement of ship's names after the Tolten was sunk, claiming it too much information was being given away to the enemy. She lies in 90' of water.
