Roe:
Hopefully you have the name of the ship as there were so many which were sunk by the Germans. Here are a few sites for a start:  http://www.mikekemble.com/ww2/merchantnavy.html

There's also the SS Benares which was torpedoed and sunk while carrying approximately 100 children amongst the passengers. .... the BBC Timewatch program will be showing this story soon ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/programmes/timewatch/
