MV Georgic
Hello
I am looking for help for my family tree. A few year ago I found a website that had a photograph of my grandfather when he first joined the Merchant Navy, I no longer have the photograph, and I was wondering if anyone knows the name of this site. He was in the Navy from about the age of 18 I think, and I know that he served on the Georgic during the war.

Re: MV Georgic
The GEORGIC was built in 1932, on the New York run from London.
sunk in Suez Bay in 1941 and recovered and repaired in 1944, cropped in December 1955.
I was on her last voyage, British Migrants to Australia, Australian Troops to the war in Malaya, and rescued 2,500 French Foreign Legionnaires after the battle of Dien Bien Phu in Viet Nam to Algiers and Marseilles , then Liverpool and then to the Clyde for scrapping.
Her war service included rescuing the British Army from the German invasion of Norway and rescuing British Troops from St Nazaire in France at the time of Dunkirk,After WW2 she was used to rescue the Dutch from Indonesia, [ formerly, Dutch East Indies ] and the migrant trade to Australia and New Zealand.
