Portuguese gunboat Lidador sunk Spanish trawler Seguna according to Dutch newspaper Nieuwe Tilburgsche Courant datedc25 February 1933

An item reported that the Portuguese gunboat Lidador sunk the Spanish trawler Seguna of Huelva which was fishing off the Portuguese coast. When the gunboat was sighted, were the nets taken on board and the lights put out to disappear in the darkness. However she was pursued by the Lidador which used her spotlight for one shot at the mast. When the Segunda tried to ram a boat of the Lidador was she herself with such a large force rammed by the Lidador that she sunk. Her crew was taken on board of the Portuguese gunboat.
