Tragedy at Sea. The sinking of the USAT Dorchester on February 3, 1943, was a tragic event during World War II, caused by a German torpedo attack. It was the evening of Feb. 2, 1943, and the U.S.A.T. Dorchester was crowded to capacity, carrying 902 service men, merchant seamen and civilian workers.
