Scuttled on March 2-1942 at Port Sourabaya" (just before the Japanese invasion, one of several vessels scuttled at Sourabaya). He also sent a picture of Loa-Koeloe. His own website is linked below. I've also received a picture of a lovely painting of Loa-Koeloe, received from and painted by Jan Goedhart, Holland.
