Notes: I hope this is an appropriate post. I am WAM's son. I have been doing a bit of research lately and there are certainly interesting bits in the post. Any shipmates would be a bit long in the tooth, though! I haven't managed to find many details of the first City of Karachi (built 1905 Belfast broken up Japan 1935) or the Imperial Monarch (buit 1926 Glasgow broken up in Japan 1959). Any suggestions? cheers Ronnie.
