[Gulliver]

Hi Tracey! Always nice to hear from you. You were one of the first to reply to me when I first joined this site-one year ago now!

I should also have remembered that you lost your dear brother too ; JOHN SCULLY who died aboard yet another Bibby vessel,the Devonshire,in 1983.

We will remember them All.......

God Bless,Tracey

Forever lost a real nice bunch of people.

Salied with most of them the trip before and remember them well to this day.

The electrician on the Liverpool Bridge was called Max Biggam and was from Glasgow. Unfortunately he also died of his wounds within days of the accident.
I sailed with him on the Canadian Bridge the trip before his death, he was a lovely bloke and left a wife and two children.

Hi,

I know this is rather trivial, however, the Derbyshire was originally named Liverpool Bridge.

as its been mentioned in the posts above,today is the day that the derbyshire was lost with all her crew.
since reading about this ship and all her crew,it has upset me for some unknown reason.

i have been going through the national archives looking for the registration numbers of each person,so that i could list them,the same way as i have listed all my former ship mates.
i have managed to almost complete this,apart from nine names.
one of the names i feel very sad for,is as follows
ADRIAN KEITH STOTT--JUNIOR SEAMAN--THIS WAS HIS FIRST TRIP TO SEA.

may they all rest in peace.

[Scully]

Hi Davey, Those 2 years since you joined have flown over!
Bless you for remembering once again all those lost souls & thank you for remembering my beautiful brother.
May they all rest in peace. Never far from our thoughts.
Lots of love to everyone.

Ii was Ships Cook aboard the M.V. Dart Atlantic and i remember recieving the news that evening via one of the officers that the Derbyrshire was in very heavy weather thyphoone orchid and might have to'' heave too', the following day she had been reported missing and sadly we guessed the worst. Many of the crew and officers knew members aboard i in particular had sailed with the Cheif steward only nine months earlier (xmas trip) Bill Buckley he was a great man and a sad loss one i would have sailed with again anytime'. still in my thoughts and will allways remain so.
