On 19 October 1940, the Thalia was sailing with the 34-ship SC-7 convoy from Montreal, Quebec, to Garston, England, when she was torpedoed at 1:55 a.m. by U-99 west of the British Isles in the North Atlantic. She sank in 40 seconds, position 57°00'N/11°30'W. The attack killed 22 crew members. The four survivors were rescued by the Norwegian cargo ship Snefjeld.
