WWII cargo ship that Road to Victory exhibit was aboard (to England) sunk by U-Boat

I am doing some research on photographer Edward Steichen's contribution to World War II. I have heard that a smaller version of

the Road to Victory (1942) exhibit that was on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York was sunk with a freight ship that

was headed to England by a U-Boat sometime between May 1942 to 1945. A replacement of the exhibit was later sent to England.

I would like to know the name of the freight ship that the original smaller display was aboard and the U-Boat that attacked her. Any

help would be appreciated. Thank-you.

The earliest mention of that with documentation was a document from 1981 that credited that statement to: Sandburg, Home Front Memo, p. 309. Road to Victory's American travel schedule is outlined in an undated memo in the files of MOMA's Department of Photography.

Thank-you for the information. I will research the memo.
