Re: Please help
Yes that's the correct ship built as HARPAGUS official number168347 renamed TREWORLAS 1946.
Another typo - "Strartmaver. 3.10.45" should read 'STRATHNAVER' official number 162619 built 1931.

Hugh

I've been in contact with the Russian Artic convoy museum and they have given me some information. My dad was on the Dutch ship Mijdrecht and it was in the convoy JW-54,RA-55A,JW-57 and RA-58. He was also on a rescue ship with took people from the Nazi death camps.
