Ship lost off Flamborough Head – 1918

[ED2005]

I am interested in a ship on which an ancestor was lost during WW1. The ship was lost in August 1918 and was called the Malvina - a merchant ship on it's way from London to Leith. From the little I have gleaned off the internet, the ship was at first thought torpedoed and later thought to have ran into a loose British mine.
I was wondering if anyone local has any knowledge of any sources of further information and if there is any sort of burial or memorial in a local churchyard to those who were killed or drowned? Would there have been any newspaper reports of the incident in local press?
Any information greatfully received.
