The Malchace was a 334-foot long freighter built in 1920 by Merrill-Stevens Shipbuilding Corporation, Jacksonville, FL.  Traveling from Baton Rouge, LA to Hopewell, NJ with 3628 tons of soda ash, she was sunk on April 9, 1942 by two torpedoes from the U-160.  The wreck of the Malchace lies almost upside down in approximately 200 feet of water.
