Launched on Nov. 5, 1914, the vessel was, per this site (thanks!) torpedoed by German submarine UC49 on Aug. 25, 1917, while en route from Tegal (Central Java Province, Indonesia) to Hull with a varied cargo. At 49.32N/6.25W, a point 27 miles S. of Bishop's Rock, Scilly Islands. 6 lives were lost. I read at the 2nd link above that Nascent sank just 25 seconds after being hit! An alternate location for the loss is offered here (a 'pdf' file) - 50.20N/05.30W. Which location this site states is incorrect. Is there anything you can add?
